A tirade of rage on Faux News is directed against electric cars in a recent hit piece by a former CIA officer. Emphasis on 'former.'
If you are wondering where all the negativity about electric cars is coming from, that probably means you don’t spend every moment of the day filling your cranial cavity with detritus from. If you did, you would be treated to a constant barrage of stunningly stupid nonsense from people who should know better but cannot resist the lure of an outlet for their baseless claims.
Don’t you find it interesting that right wing extremists applaud putting twelve-year-old kids to work in the US and have passed laws to limit the amount of breaks they can get but are worried sick about “kids” in the DRC? Hypocrisy is pretty much the norm for these people. Nickel is another raw material that causes problems because it is needed to make batteries for some electric cars. Much of it is extracted and refined in Indonesia. Wright says there are two ways to mining nickel. One requires coal-fired furnaces, which he said is damaging to the Indonesian environment and its people; the second is through chemical extraction using sulfuric acid which needs to be disposed of either in tailing ponds or dried and stacked.
Wright went on to say that China owns the EV industry and the “dirty green world. We know that they own a lot of the mines — whether it be nickel or cobalt in places like Africa, India, Indonesia — they control about 80 percent of the refining of those minerals for the batteries,” he said.
In addition to the fact that EVs are a national security concern, Wright said they have also proven to be less safe on the road and more expensive to maintain when compared to their gas-powered counterparts. “Now we’re driving down the road, nobody’s hacked us yet, and we have a couple of other concerns to think about. One, this car is very heavy. Much, much heavier than a traditional vehicle and that means that your tires are gonna wear down about 20 percent faster than a gas powered vehicle.
