EV's are good for the environment they said.....the largest lithium-ion battery recovering facility in the world explodes!

[progressive hunter]

No, you are imagining things. We don't want tax money propping up bad companies.

neither do I,,

subsidies in the way of giving a corp money should never be allowed,,

 

[westwall]

last night you were all about fixing problems in waste disposal and fire suppression before they scale up and today its tax credits and acquiring resources,,

how about we finish one issue before you try and spin it into a different one??

Sheesh, you are obtuse aren't you. If you remove tax benefits for EV's, that alone eliminates most of the issues.

Ban 3rd world imports and you just dealt with the rest.

No controls on what companies do WITH THEIR OWN MONEY!

So simple. So why can't you understand?

 

[westwall]

who can argue with the lack of logic like that,,

Correct. You have no defense.

are you saying removing tx credits make lithium fires easier to put out??

how does that work??

 

[progressive hunter]

Correct. You have no defense.

correct,,

I have no defense for your lack of logic,,

Removing tax subsidies kills the companies that produce bad batteries.

What part of not supporting failure escapes you?

Are you truly so brainwashed that you can't add 1+1?

not seeing how that makes fires easier to put out,,

that would of course mean there are less fires,, but it doesnt make them easier to put out

and whats your proof these fires are from poorly made batteries??

do you have something to back that up??

 

[westwall]

correct,,

I have no defense for your lack of logic,,

You have no logic is the point. You claim to be a "Defender of the Faith...excuse me "technology".

Yet you have no problem with the massive amount of pollution that it creates.

You bleat constantly about the evils of the oil industry, but remain absolutely silent about the far worse pollution created by the EV world.

So now I must reclassify you from enthusiastic, though uninformed supporter of EV tech, to brainwashed envirowhacko retard.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have a huge problem with all pollution,,

how does the EV pollution outweigh over 200 yrs of oil spills and deaths from the oil industry??


your problem is you think if you can make it about me it will mean youre right,,

its not a matter of you or I being right,, its just what it is,,

I prefer to see the world as it is and accept that with some advancements it takes time to know what problems it will create and how we deal with them,,

If you do a search we find that the website of the parent company has gone dark

Critical Mineral Recovery™ - A Global Battery Recycling Company​

A GLOBAL Battery Recycling Company.

And thats it

So I’m still wondering who owns the company?

I'll be damned if you aren't correct.....Any page on the web that mentions them has been taken down!

All I could find out was they are tied in with Interco, a recycling company in the area.

The oil produced by the oil companies you hate so much has done far more good than harm

when did I say I hate the oil companies??

showing the same problems EVs have that oil has had and still does have doesnt mean I hate them,,

how about we drop the leftist tactics and act like adults??

 

[Foxfyre]

No, you are imagining things. We don't want tax money propping up bad companies.

We don't want tax dollars propping up good companies either. If a concept works and a product or service is developed that people are willing to pay for, great. If it doesn't work, then oh well. The taxpayer shouldn't be on the hook for that either way.

I don't have any problem with cities/states/federal government providing tax breaks and other incentives that encourage infrastructure along with manufacturing or services that are needed and that will provide good new jobs. Good new jobs often mean people need somewhere to live that boosts the housing market and also provide customers for many other businesses including new ones. Such tax breaks and incentives should take not one dime out of the taxpayer's pocket. Subsidies do.

I was reacting to this rather hysterical rant against oil brought to us by oil companies

“how does the EV pollution outweigh over 200 yrs of oil spills and deaths from the oil industry??”

You certainly do not sound grateful for all the blessings oil has bestowed on humanity

If you can honestly claim not to hate oil companies you come very close to it

why do I have to be grateful or not??

all I did was state facts in reference to the similar concerns oil has had and still does have as to what we are seeing with EVs,,
which is safe waste and logistics,,

that doesnt require love or hate,,

 

[Mac-7]

why do I have to be grateful or not??

You should be grateful since your life is so enriched thanks to oil

Exactly. Well put!

not sure what that has to do with the topic or what I said,,

am I required to express that before stating a fact about the similarities of dangers both oil and EVs have??

EVs have improved our lives very little compared to oil

That fact should not be overlooked

and has nothing to do with what I was talking about or the topic,,
