A single electric car battery weighing 1,000 pounds requires extracting and processing some 500,000 pounds of materials. Averaged over a battery's life, each mile of driving an electric car “consumes” five pounds of earth.
Think about that a minute -- they have to dig out, refine and process a half a million pounds of materials within the earth to produce just one vehicle's electric battery. I wonder how much coal and oil needs to be burnt to do that, not to mention to build and produce the machinery and trucks that do the actual work of digging up that half a million pounds of earth.
THAT, folks, is what the greenies that actually know this do not want you to understand.
