"its backwards" Probably but we both got the idea I was pushing - which I stand behind. The cost in electricity vs gas does tilt towards electricity but that excludes the cost creating and the lack of recycling options.
"recycling happens all the time" Sure for some stuff... but electronics are not in a good spot on recycling.

2-5% of batteries are recycled. in 2019. You think the numbers have gone up that far? I don't think so.
That's not counting the environmental damange done getting "the most richest sources" into a usable state.
"no way" I'm talking reality... not could be. should be. will be.
Is.
Today? Shit isn't recycled. IE: Windmill blades

One of the key pieces of the green "solution" is filling up landfills with megatons of unrecyclable material.
And that's not talking about the "cheap" batteries.

Batteries are expensive. Insurance is expensive. Getting materials is expensive (and destructive). Recycling electronics and batteries is expensive (and thus filling up landfills).
I'm sorry but at the end of the day? The "solution" of green tech is no solution so far. It's simply promises and ignoring the problems because gas "stinks".
"Shit is real" my above statement is real as are the problems with "green".
