THIS is what all the morons in Washington do not know and are ignorant of. Talk about idiots!! Well, that goes without saying. Most all these people you know are politicians which are people who cannot get a REAL job, but they know how to sweet talk and lie to sheeple in order to get them to vote them in for a job they do not have a clue about.
Yes, the “clean and green” electric cars cause pollution too, albeit indirectly. While EVs have zero tailpipe emissions, the energy used to drive them is only as clean as the power plant that services you.
This has been a point of contention over the past decade, but the science behind the “well-to-wheels” efficiency of vehicles has matured — EVs are unequivocally greener. With modern electric cars, even if you are serviced by coal power you are doing the earth a favor — and when the grid improves, so will your carbon footprint.
E-waste is a more insidious problem, and the industry is rapidly trying to find a solution for recycling used batteries. Lithium batteries are fairly benign when compared to Nickel-Cadmium cells or even other automotive compounds like brake fluid.
Nonetheless, it’s considered toxic in our waste stream, and no one is prepared for the volume of used batteries headed to scrap yards. The EPA reported last year that at least 65 landfill fires were caused by lithium-ion battery waste. If the industry doesn’t find a solution quickly, we may have mountains of lithium trash just waiting to catch fire.

Soooo IF you STILL think going EV or continuing to THINK it is the answer, then I have to say, you are not very smart and are subject to blowhard idiots.
