Banning of New Gas Cars - WA State

[WisHawk]

Everyone having an electric vehicle means an enormous amount of mining, refining and all the polluting activities that come with it. No one wants to talk about that.
The production phase of electric vehicles is substantially more environmentally intensive, comparing it to how gas and diesel vehicles are made.
In addition, producing batteries and electric motors requires a lot of toxic minerals such as nickel, copper and aluminum.
Which makes, the acidification impact much greater than that of conventional car production.
There are a lot things not being talked about when it comes to changing over to EV's.

The idiots running our country and states never seem to realize the 'unintended consequences' of their actions. We as citizens need to realize that at the voting polls.

oh I think you are wrong...I think they fully well know what the consequences of their actions are, as I do not believe for a minute how this is going down is "unintended"

fire up those coal plants to make more electricity....I say we put every senator and congressman/woman on the first electric powered plane for a trip across the ocean so they can celebrate their success and expenses paid..
