It’s on a completely different order of magnitude. And actually, yes, pollution far away from major population centers is much better than pollution within cities- regardless of what country it’s in.
- freitzkriesler 4y agoRight, so long as we out source the pollution somewhere else where in the world it's OK.
- nostromo123 4y agoWell, as long as it's not our kids digging in mines for lithium, it's OK...
- rgmerk 4y agoThe world’s biggest lithium mines are in Australia, where miners earn extremely good wages and safety standards are at least as good as the US.
- dangrossman 4y agoThe US has just committed to billions of dollars per year in incentives to bring that pollution to the US. Between the IRA's 10-year expansion of incentives for buying cars with US-manufactured batteries and US-mined minerals, Section 45X, the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit, is the reason billions of dollars of battery manufacturing and associated supply chain investments on US soil were announced in 2022.
