[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5385850, member: 24302"] Saw tonight that a writer in "Chronicles" magazine, Roger McGrath, laid out what goes into one EV battery. In order to obtain the amount of metals needed 50 tons of ore are processed. That battery needs 90 lbs of copper, 60 lbs of cobalt, 130 lbs of nickel, 190 lbs of graphite, 30 lbs of lithium, and 500 lbs of steel, aluminum, manganese, plastic, and other materials. Yeah, all that mining and processing, which takes fossil fuel, to make millions of batteries will save the planet. [/QUOTE]
