[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2916856]They understand. I think they just use more of a cross that bridge when we come to it approach. When cars came out they knew the engine exhaust gave off pollution. But at least we will not have to deal with all this horseshit everywhere anymore. When electric cars came out they knew how mining lithium for the batteries fucks up the environment and the miners. But at least we will not have to deal with this smog anymore.[/QUOTE]Electric vehicles are very dangerous, especially the ones made in China. They are prone to explode and set fires.
I came across this report recently.
"Russia is preparing to file a complaint against the Ukraine, accusing them of war crimes. The Ukraine, facing a shortage of bombs and artillery ammunition due to the US Congress' allowing a lapse in foreign aid, has made up for the shortfall by dropping Chinese electric vehicles from bombers and launching electric vehicle batteries from artillery and long range rockets. Ukrainian saboteurs have also parked Chinese electric vehicles near Russian ammunition depots, defense plants, and aerodromes and allowed them to catch fire spontaneously, starting fires that take fire fighters days to extinguish and releasing toxic fumes that force the evacuation of nearby workers and residents. According to Moscow, this is an illegal circumvention of Geneva Convention rules against the use of Napalm and chemical weapons. ".
