We have. Right here on TS. Maybe dozens of times. Proof has been posted, the idiocy of the argument I put in bold proven false. And you know what the funniest part is? Even 20 years ago, that wasn't true.
What? I do not believe that there are many people looking for new car and buying gas cars in 2022... It would be just dumb.
But let’s charge 20,000,000 electric cars every day as well…

Are there electric vehicles with a starting price of 13,000?
Maps before and pictures now. You sure know how to prove a point \s

Actually, there are more people like me than you may think that hope smokers never disappear.
I work in the oil patch here in Alaska (North Slope) along with having worked at two different mining sites up here (Red Dog & Rock Creek). The crappiest oil patch I've worked in was Sakhalin Island (Russia) and even that is 100x's more environmentally sound than cobalt mining. The left knows they can get away with pushing the green energy lie because they know that most of their followers are willingly clueless. Just look at the following Greta Thunberg got.Maps before and pictures now. You sure know how to prove a point \s
And don't force me to show pictures of oil rig filth and the results of fracking planet wide. Because if you do, we can then review some oil spills over the last century. Just for you.
For God’s sake, make your point and show your proof. I'm going to, whether you do or not, so you first.
EDIT - I marked this last year, but goes in to great depth. But I have to warn you, it talks of actual studies. And it even discusses how much more Cobalt was mined just for EVs before the batteries became a crying point all of a sudden.
Cobalt is critical to the renewable energy transition. How can we minimize its social and environmental cost?

And I thought I would throw this in for you to read and ignore.
But don't think any of us haven't noticed how this suddenly made the righties so concerned about the environment. First time for everything, and all it took was technological progress.
Now come on, let's stay away from the right's biggest fears, grandmas and teenage girls.
Cobalt mining = strip mining.Now come on, let's stay away from the right's biggest fears, grandmas and teenage girls.
But anyway I will say because of where cobalt comes from, child labor is a huge problem of course. But we are talking about environmental impact.
And if you want to stop mining because you suddenly have environmental concerns, you should remember that cobalt days are numbered for EV batteries anyway. After that, do you want to ban cobalt use in medicine, food preservation? How about aeronautical engines?
Facts About Cobalt
Properties, sources and uses of the element cobalt. Some common forms of cobalt include cobalt-60 and cobalt chloride. Cobalt blue is a vivid color used in artwork.www.livescience.com
And were you cheering when the Deepwater Horizon pumped the Gulf so full of oil, people still get sick from it?
The worst part of this discussion is I actually hate cobalt mining, but I will still hate it when it's no longer needed for EV batteries. I doubt you will, and I doubt you even gave it any thought before EVs.
Oh BTW. The "green energy lie" is in the worst place it can be. A CONservatives head.
Well, you sure showed me. Thanks for the non answers, again, but I will raise a glass that you have your job as long as you want it.
Well, believe what you want... then do some research and see that ICE purchases still VASTLY outnumber electric... guess everyone’s dumb... or maybe they know something you don’t?
Eventually they will ramp up production. Right now, you can't get most models without being put on a list.
There are a few costing below 5k. What is your point?
Sure why not? But here is the long answer:But let’s charge 20,000,000 electric cars every day as well…
California says it needs more power to keep the lights on
California energy officials on Friday issued a sober forecast for the state's electrical grid, saying it lacks sufficient capacity to keep the lights on this summer and beyond if heatwaves, wildfires or other extreme events take their toll.
Actually its funny but those that buy GAS cars today do not know something I do.
Meanwhile back in the real world California is facing more power blackouts.
Then I am lucky to not live there?
That's what you get when you refuse to increase power supply to keep up with demand. Add the spillways that are still damaged to some degree on some big hydro plants, and that spells trouble. But they are getting 5 temporary gas power plants to help with high demand, but who the hell knows when they will be finished.

Yeah… they know that they can’t afford to pay more for an electric vehicle than a comparable ICE one. They know that it will take hours to recharge their car as opposed to a couple of minutes for an ICE car. They know that charging stations are few and far between whereas gas stations are everywhere…
I love the smell of bullshit in the morning.

They should also know that once they get an EV cost of ownership drops drastically.
Yes because Vox knows the energy business. Anyone who thinks EV's are going to replace gas engines anytime soon is nowhere near reality.I love the smell of bullshit in the morning.
Number of U.S. EV Charging Ports will Soon Surpass Gas Stations | GetJerry.com
Today there are approximately 108,000 public EV charging ports in the U.S., compared to an estimated 110,000-150,000 gas stations.
The death of the gas station
As EVs hit the road, gas stations will have to adapt or risk going out of business.

Great, my stalker is back. Here to start a discussion he won't\can't finish.
I don't believe and never once said it will happen soon. People who like smoke and 150-year-old lightbulb tech have been and will always be on the sidelines of progress. Complaining.
You see? This list applies to you. The things you do not know about EVs.
Outlets take hours to charge a car... don’t give me any BS about them being everywhere - certainly not outdoors!
