Energy secretary shows why electric cars do not beat gas cars.

How has he done that? Executive Order? If a bill, there were Republicans votes required.

What special interest groups and how did he pay them?

Nothing? How about jobs, no tax increases (even after Trump's cuts for the 1%) and inflation rapidly checked?

What is?

Not when those particular cars represent a threat to all.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and they're full of shit and stink.

Their are already almost 7 million of the things on our roads and last year they made up 20% of all vehicles bought. That's a bit much to ignore. And, btw, they were bought and are being used by the American citizens for whom you claim to care.

Being allowed to vote? Being allowed to vote? Who the FUCK do you think you are, you traitorous fucking anti-American ASSHOLE ?!?!?!

Hilarious!

US carbon dioxide is much worse that Chinese CO2. DURR

 
Amnesty points to serious health risks to child and adult workers in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, documented in a report it issued. More than half the world’s cobalt comes from southern DRC, much of it from artisanal mines that produce 20% of the country’s output.

Artisanal miners as young as seven were seen by researchers who visited nine sites including deep mines dug by hand using basic tools. Miners, the youngest of whom were earning as little as $1 a day, reported suffering chronic lung disease from exposure to cobalt dust.

Cobalt from these mines is sold on to major producers. No country has laws requiring producers to report on their supply chains, which Amnesty says means the chance electric vehicle batteries are “tainted with child labour and other abuses” is unacceptably high.

Battery manufacture now accounts for 60% of the 125,000 tonnes of cobalt mined globally each year.
