What will happen to all the used gasoline?
- 11235813213455 5y agoWe recycle it, with our lungs
- theshrike79 5y agoThis is the weird disconnect we're having. People are SO VERY WORRIED about the emissions from EV battery use and their recycling. But at the same time digging up fossil fuels and literally burning them up in smoke is perfectly fine somehow?
- kvgr 5y agoWell digging heavy metals and trashing them concentrated to landfills is also no joke so worries are in place. But the reporting on these issues is trash. The same applies to solar panels. Some countries have good rules to recycle. Some dont. And in the long term we will see some bad results.
- lloeki 5y agoNasty psychological perception trick: smoke is hardly visible compared to quarries and landfills, and there is visibly more atmosphere volume than ground surface.
- ppf 5y agoPersonally, my issue with EV battery (and electronics!) lifecycles is for precisely the opposite reason - the quarries and landfills in question are far far away from the places where EVs are actually used. All that most people will see is a local reduction in air pollution, so unless the topic is discussed, the general perception will be that all is well.
- WorldMaker 5y agoAlso for some reason journalists have a lot of stock photos to choose from for quarries and landfills, but I guess stock photographers just don't like making trips to say Galveston, TX and extremely visible, devastating "beauty" of oil refining.
