No need to be a smartass, I’m genuinely curious if they are importing batteries from somewhere else
And if China, where are the mines so I can check out the environmental destruction on satellite imagery
I mean it’s pretty common knowledge that China is the biggest rare earth metals producer in the world. It’s also well known that the batteries they produces are pretty bad for environment. And it’s also known that Chinese EVs are still better for climate change than oil. It’s all been covered many many times. Are you following any news?
The batteries are also recyclable, which should make the equation even simpler.
I never said it’s not better than oil, I never even mentioned climate change. Lemmy sucks, you guys are dicks, like fuck me for asking a question lol
Worse community than reddit, fuck you guys. This is why lemmy is never going to grow. Wonder why comment sections are dead? You are the problem.
To answer your question, yeah I follow news, that’s why I assume China is probably strip mining for metals in the worst way possible. Of course mass producing batteries is going to be environmentally destructive. So where are the mines?
I’m genuinely curious
No you’re not. Nobody says that unless they’re trolling.
