[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5489135, member: 24302"] They'll have to come up with alternatives to all the minerals/metals needed to build all those cars. Even without all the EV's the world's resources are finite. The day will come, maybe not in our lifetime, that they'll have to recycle things to extract needed materials because they've become depleted. That's the reality of 8 billion people whose countries are in varying degrees of development but want better lives. Pushing everyone into EV's will deplete those resources that much faster. Poor people may get things last, but rich people, especially Europe, has to go to those poor nations for their resources. Or have you not noticed China doing just that in Africa and South America? When it comes to natural resources this country doesn't exist in a vacuum. We have to go elsewhere for some needed things and, if you haven't noticed, these young people won't stand for extracting our own resources. Saving the planet and all that. [/QUOTE]
