The corporate greed juggernaut, with assistance from the media propaganda machine and the various states, is pushing the electric vehicle as the the answer to our climate and ecological problems. What they don't mention is that the electric vehicle is dependent on lithium for its super sized batteries and all that this entails. The mining of lithium in such vast quantities is an ecological disaster in its self and also leads to removing indigenous people and/or destroying their land in an unimaginable scale. The electric vehicle requires the same massive destructive production systems as the internal combustion vehicle just changing the engine to one that requires vast amounts of copper and lithium. Both these materials are responsible for unbelievable destruction to our ecosystem. One thing we can be sure of, as far as the capitalist world is concerned mass production must continue to keep the massive profits flowing into the coffers of the privileged parasite class. They will weave the various illusions of how they are moving to clean ecologically friendly production, while ravaging the Earth on a scale unimaginable a few years or so ago. The only answer to our pending ecological disaster and species demise, is to bring down the capitalist system and its insane economics of profit and perpetual growth.
