Yeah, your source is an environmentalist who is worried about nickel mining, and doesn't know squat about current-day battery technology.
Try to build an electric car that can go 300 mi between charges using NiMH technology, and you'll need something akin to a TANK... the weight alone would potentially CRUSH many New England wooden (covered) bridges!
Yes, 15 years ago NiMH was a new way to look at batteries... but like MANY discoveries, it just didn't pan out. (Back in the day, many cell phone batteries and consumer rechargeables use NiMH technology - which has had a lasting effect on the consumer psyche - that's where the idea that you need to let the battery FULLY discharge before recharging it - because otherwise it'll develop a "memory" and never be able to fully discharge again... something that DOES NOT APPLY to Li-Ion battery technology....
But I digress...

@bi4smooth You can digress, and you can act like the economy is caught up with all your talking about. The coal and gas and oil was clean under Trump. There was no reason to shut it off. All it did was raise prices for things like food. Everything is going to be more expensive now, and more polluted, period. You cannot disregard that the Saudi Empire is making a lot of money off of us when we were totally energy independent...

So I'm to assume by your argument that, by cutting off these pipeline deals the US is going to go back to being a major importer of energy?
ROFL
You know nothing about the energy sector of our economy.

@bi4smooth It already is. Just look around. The economy is in the tank.

You silly, misguided, troll-victim. The US Economy - TODAY - isn't "tanked"! Quite the opposite, it's overheating! (Generating inflation).
And the US is still a gross EXPORTER of both raw and refined energy resources. (Thanks to deeper wells and our good friend fracking!)
Our Energy companies are raking in the dough, the same as the Saudis - however, both are smart enough to be redirecting that cash-flow into R&D on Green Energy!
-
@bi4smooth And just look at the price of everything. You talk talk talk but ignore that part.

Am I using words that are too big for you?
Inflation: a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money.
Inflation (in this instance) is caused by an overheating economy... too much growth (coming out of the pandemic shutdown) too fast... and too much cash in the economy...
-
@bi4smooth Yes, I understand you exactly. It's like Governors Whitmer, Cuomo, and Newsom are holding big sheets of ice in their hands too cool down all this crazy growth. Where exactly is this growth? Not in killing jobs with the stroke of a pen, for starters.

You must live in NY or Illinois... because virtually every other US state is humming along at 80% or higher of their economic activity (compared to March, 2020 - before the shutdowns)... If you live in Idaho or South Dakota, your economies are ALREADY ahead of where you were in March 2020!
But let's get real here - this isn't some kind of Biden magic - this is the economy coming out of the "artificial" depression of the Covid-19 shutdowns! Add in $4T in combined "stimulus" money, and this economy is growing fast... too TOO fast!
-
@bi4smooth You are saying that the economy is doing well but it's not because of Biden... so I guess you're admitting its good because of Trump. If you think it's good. The other side is that it's getting looted under Biden.

Trump's economy was doing quite well - until COVID-19. No question.
This recovery isn't being guided by either President's economic agenda though - it's like giving the President credit for rain! These jobs were going to come back after the pandemic... look at the Roaring 1920's... and they didn't pump $4T into the economy!

The UK government owns the national grid.
We sell our electricity to a company, who then resells it to their customers.
It's like how the UK government owns the rail lines and companies bid for the contracts to operate the routes.

@raphjd Sounds like the Communism is almost full blown in the UK.

@manhandler Pay a little more now or pay later by not having a habitable planet to live on. You were going to pay regardless. The planet is dying. We need someone to force the climate change deniers to do what needs to be done one way or the other.
-
@raphjd F that Liar Xi JinPing and China.. They gave us covid and wrecked the world economy They shouldn't get a dime back
-
@bi4smooth @ManHandler @raphjd You do realize that the economy started contracting when Donnie Dipshit started his failed Trade war with China. And we were already heading down the wrong path with interest rates slashed. Maybe someone shouldnt have made it so that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk paid less taxes than your average Joe. This is why we need HR-1 / SB-1 to pass the Senate. Get dark money out of politics. No more Koch brothers and their secret unlimited funding of both sides of the aisle. get this stuff out in the open with some limits on it so that WE THE PEOPLE can decide the course we want to take. Not the Wealthy elite who control everything now.

@sosofly Well first of all, the planet will never die. The planet is not, dying. It is growing.

Please stop getting your news from Greta and AOC.
The planet will never die.
Ask any true scientist (as opposed to climate scammers), the planet has had climate change since it got an atmosphere.
We had a mini ice age during the Renaissance
Until the mid/late 1970s, climate scientists thought we were headed into another ice age.

Sadly, the wealthy will always control the world, behind the scenes. This includes unions.
We also have billionaires dictating what is the "truth". As an example, FB, Twitter, and YouTube take an SJW approach to what the "truth" is. All 3 endorsed the statement that "a woman's penis is biologically female", while calling those that disagreed with it "science deniers".
Bill Nye is/was a certified engineer and TV buffoon, but we let him teach kids SJW "truths" and not scientific facts. Bill Nye claims that many men have given birth, but what he refuses to say is that none of them are actually males. He lies to kids with half-truths and blatant deception.
Greta was/is a useful idiot by a billionaire media mogul with a climate change agenda. She can't work off script, as is obvious from countless interviews. She has Aspergers, which is why she went to that "special" school where she only had to attend 1 day a week. It was claimed that it was a "school boycott" when in fact she was still going to school when SHE had to, not when normal school was in session.
Liberal "news" outlets refusing to report on the race of criminals, unless they are white.
