curious to know where are the metals and plastics are coming from for the new electric cars and what the human cost will be. this includes child labor and extraction.

I'd like to know about that as well, such as the nickel needed for the batteries. I have seen a car made from all natural resources like corn and hemp. It was amazing. I have to find the photos I took. It was a protoype featured at a Green Show a few years ago.

i suspect the rush to

production which has been underway for a very very long time has not and will not give any care at all to the countries where these minerals are mined. i also nam HIGHLY suspect that this will

solve any global climate issues since the extraction will be aggressive in order to fulfill the needs of the AUTO

CORPORATIONS. i am so weary of solutions coming from the same corners who created the problems

in the first place AND that citizen driven solutions are neither being listened to nor promoted in mainstream. i smell air contamination and more heavy metal toxicity in the human biome.

I hear you.

Coming off our dependence on fossil fuels isn't going to be easy.

i think heading into more extraction to ‘save the world’ is going to cause even bigger problems. ones we will deny because the PR is so insistent and relentless. meanwhile the extremely wealthy will still fly

private planes willy milky and eat as they wish while

promoting a peasant lifestyle to the little people. prius are creating health issues as we head into a a new money making venture for multi billion/trillion dollar corporations. they will cut nothing but jobs pensions and economic stability for working people. it’s a sad sad shame to watch it all unfold.
