Lithium is refined from ore using sulfuric acid. The proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass, Nevada is estimated to require up to 75 tanker truck loads of sulfuric acid a day! This acid does not turn into unicorn food as Congress Cretin AOC believes.
Refining lithium has created several EPA SUPERFUND SITES. IT IS VERY TOXIC TO THE ENVIRONMENT!
The battery in an electric car, let’s say an average Tesla, is made of :
25 pounds of lithium,
60 pounds of nickel,
44 pounds of manganese,
30 pounds of cobalt,
200 pounds of copper,
and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic, etc……
averaging 750-1,000 pounds of minerals, that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity … Electricity which is generated by oil, gas, coal, or water (and perhaps a tiny fraction of wind and solar )…That is the truth, about the lie, of “green” energy. There’s nothing green about the “Green New Deal”.
You Congress Cretins better learn how to vote or this nonsense will continue to flow down on top of We the People from the throne of government upon of which you put these people.
Stop drinking the Green New Deal’s sulfuric acid Kool-Aid!
