Why I say EVs are peak FIAT science... No worries, Bitcoin fixes this!
"In order to transition half of the world’s energy to renewables, Lithium extraction would need to increase 2700%. Lithium requires 500,000 gallons of water to produce a single ton. The creation of the infrastructure required to produce “clean” energy is a ecological disaster." by John Lee Pettimore (ret. prof miner)
Sorry but that's a fallacy.
EVs ≠ lithium ion
Battery tech is not dependent on one type of resource, it is dependent on human ingenuity.
Yeah, I hear this for decades now... started with the phones, then laptops, now with EVs. Still I don't see anywhere the commercially alternative to Li-ion. I only see promises, meanwhile we are polluting heavily the poor part of the world and singing everywhere that "this is the future"... It's peak FIAT scam.
EVs are here to save the car industry not to save the planet.
The car industry is not needed to be saved, so the EVs can go away... 😀
The car industry was done innovating strict internal combustion. Hybrid tech coming from F1 made it clear electric engines are more efficient in many ways. Just that we don't have an efficient fuel cell for electric energy yet doesn't mean EVs are bad. Your original note was a fallacy, prove me wrong.
I'm not living in the future, I'm living in the present where EVs are way more polluting than the modern combustion engine cars. Until this is not changed I don't fall for the EV trap. I'm ready to accept that the EVs are good when the "magical" green fuel cell will be invented and affordable for commercial use.
The market never demanded electric cars - it was pushed on consumers top down. If someone makes a new vehicle with real economic benefits, we must allow it to compete freely with existing ones.
I'm not a proponent of EVs, I'm a proponent of sound solutions. Some require a longer trajectory.
In this note you used a fallacy, if you have a hard time coming to terms with that it's difficult to have a qualitative discussion with you.
