RE: dirty batteries. I'll take relatively minor environmental damage that can be confined to one spot any day of the week over literally spewing toxic fumes into everybody else's lungs and heating up the entire damn globe. That's a no-brainer. And the sooner we can move to nuclear + renewables to power everything, including battery construction, the better.
- anaganisk 5y agoLogic is taking a huge hit, ever heard of air currents, what makes u think its confined to small spots? Ever heard of law of conservation of energy? The power required to generate EV doesn’t magically appear it requires equal amount of power generation plants. And right now its not clean and the switch will take decades. No EV wave is not gonna happen with a flick of a switch, battery minerals are still limited and their production is not easy either. Batteries need significant amount of change before they’re viable alternative. Else its just a duct tape measure before we find an alternative. And nuclear is already being banned in many countries, plus it has its own head aches. Renewables? I doubt how many countries are even considering it apart from a handful.
