It's getting very tiresome to see big oil/right wing talking points repeated on HN constantly. You can go read the Tesla impact report here: https://www.tesla.com/impact https://www.tesla.com/impact and see that they're doing their best to eliminate conflict minerals in their battery chemistry.
- matthewmacleod 4y agoI mean, you can also hit up the Shell website and read all about how good they are for the environment, driving the transition to clean energy etc.
- shiftpgdn 4y agoI know you're taking the piss but I worked for a Shell subsidiary for 2 years very recently and they actually take all the "green" stuff very seriously despite the fact their core business accounts for 2% of global co2 emissions. It's very bizarre and much of the internal "greenwashing" dialog reads like a catholic confessional. With that out of the way there is a difference between corporate PR greenwashing and literally changing battery chemistries to not contain as many rare earth minerals.
