WAR ON COAL: Biden's policies put Americans at risk for long blackouts, West Virginia coal rep...
We are relying on child labor and exploitation for those wanting to dig up Cobalt. This is from Amnesty International and this is over 6 years old so you figure with the push for electric cars by all the automakers. Look at the last Dodge Challenger is coming out in 2023 and they're going to retire the Hemi V8 engine. They're going to come out with new electric muscle cars but they're not going to do very well up here in canada. Where I live, it's often below freezing between November and March. Electric cars don't last very long in the cold especially if you have to heat the passenger compartment and heat the batteries so they don't lose their efficiency in cold weather. I have a 7-year-old Dodge Challenger with 55,000 miles on it. I have replaced the battery three times. Had this been an electric Tesla from 2015, it would require a new battery by now and that would be over 20 grand. My vehicle gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. It's a V6 with 305 horsepower. It's not as fast as a Tesla performance electric model but since we have snow 6 months out of the year, who needs performance? Watch the used car lots have all kinds of dead electric cars after the 7-year warranty is up.
I can handle spending a couple hundred bucks every 3 years buying a new battery then buying an electric car that's 20 to $30,000 more than the average car and then have to plug down another 20 to 25 Grand after 7 years? As soon as you pay off the vehicle, you have to spend almost the equivalent of the vehicle to get a replacement battery! That's insane! Also, you have to dispose of the old battery and that's toxic waste as it is!
Third world countries can use propane, diesel or gasoline and it isn't that expensive for them while they having to plug down lots of money for green energy made in China will bankrupt them and President Biden wanting to give 20 billion to Indonesia is just sheer corruption. He is dooming them to having expensive energy that is unreliable. That's why I'm letting you know that stupid that we should have carbon taxes to pay other countries reparations which is a total tax and spend scam all for the environmental Nazis that don't know their ass from the hole in the ground.

Exposed: Child labour behind smart phone and electric car batteries
Major electronics brands, including Apple, Samsung and Sony, are failing to do basic checks to ensure that cobalt mined by child labourers has not been used in their products, said Amnesty International and Afrewatch in a report published today.

The Role of the Oil Sector in Venezuela’s Environmental Degradation and Economic Rebuilding
Download the Brief The Issue Venezuela’s oil sector currently sits at historic lows, both in terms of its production and its environmental impact. Decrepit pipelines and decaying refineries, unrestricted flaring of greenhouse gases, and government hostility toward environmental groups have all contributed to a growing crisis in one of the world’s most biodiverse countries. While the Maduro regime often cites international sanctions as the...
