Lithium and cobalt and other mines in Africa are slave labour run. They are massive environmental disasters that leave the land scarred and barren. Children are forced to slave labour in cobalt mines, where they will handle the radioactive material bare handed with no shielding or protection or healthcare, until they die. All so you can have a apple phone or tesla battery. The production of a "green" electric car battery results in more emissions than 10 years worth of average fossil fuel cars. There are no environmentally friendly disposal facilities for the hazardous waste of these batteries. Hell, even many early solar panels are approaching their lifespans and a huge environmental issue with their disposal approaching that no one talks about.
Electric cars are a wealth transfer. Reason to tax people for being evil nazis using gas and supporting oil industry while "green" companies employ slave labour and receive MASSIVE tax benefits and funding and carbon bullshit money to sell overpriced environmentally destructive vehicles - all with free propaganda making you feel like you are captain fucking planet saving the earth so you can sleep better at night without realizing you are getting bent over both ways.
