    And don't forget you will need more than a fire extinguisher once it catches fire!!

    Yeah stop the world, please

    How is possible that I forgot that batteries may catch fire, while gasoline is a well known fire extinguisher? :rasta:

    :g: You seem to have "forgotten" that WATER works much more betterer as a fire extinguisher on electric battery fires :dunno: Especially those where magnesium is used in the batteries :evil2:

    Dog-piles on wheels, besides - who's mining all the cobalt for them, children in Africa, very caring and endearing indeed. Running on smug even.

    ...as opposed to clean oil gushing from below us - everywhere around us - yum to such fish and crustaceans, laced with that "lubricant", yeahhh!!! Especially the plastic made from oil, in everything we touch, breathe, drink... Ohhh, the fab crunch and texture... Running on bonkers, even...

    Using water is stupid, both to extinguish gasoline fires (given gasoline floats over water) and litium batteries (given lithium reacts with water).

    In short open your mouth about something you understand, not about idiotic right winded propaganda.

    Is plenty of batteries that haven't any cobalt, nickel and other "problematic" elements. I mean actual products, already in production, already in use.

    Then there are hundreds of research lab and universities working on something that we will see in real world in the next few years.

    That said is "funny" to see how the same people is concerned about child labor in Congo, but don't give a crap about the 10000+ children killed in Israel.

    See above, forget the propaganda and discuss about something you understand.

    Way before saving the planet, it's matter of thinking how stupid is to waste in heat 75+% of the energy provided by fossil fuels in a engine from 1890. (especially if used to move a three tons pointless truck, used in turn to transport a single 75Kg person (or a 120Kg obese American :D ).

    Saving the planet is just a (welcome) byproduct

    I believe there is a climate crisis when all the politicians and gob s**tes stop flying around in Thier private jets and billionaires stop building luxury apartments on water fronts. Going electric is not going to save the planet and they know it. It's just lip service. If you can run electric vehicle good for you, but some houses have no parking access to thier homes, and therefore have no charging access, same for those in tower blocks. I believe EV should be optional , but sold alongside petrol or diesel. We as consumers should have a choice. I myself choose not.

    Yeah. NOW You can use 5 times the water that an average person use in WESTERN developed work.

    NOW You can set the AC @ 18 degrees in the middle of the death valley

    NOW You can drive a tractor shaped vaguely like a car, that swallows 10 Liters per Kilometer

    Now, Now, Now.

    Short sighted people thinks to now

    What about tomorrow, what about 2040, 2050, 2060?

    Your sons and your nephews will thank your short sight forever.
