It is amazing how many of those who claim to “follow science” only look as far as the tip of their nose. I believe it is because sometimes they do not have the expertise or worldly experience to consider all the factors which may impact their own personal or messianic agenda. At other times, it is because they do not wish to be disturbed by some inconvenient facts, such as cost, contributing factors, outside influences which might upset their wonderful vision, etc. Sometimes, it is just plain ignorance and laziness that allows them to disregard important realities which would upset or even destroy their vision.
The attached article begins to bring up numerous factors which will impact the vision of EVs. One of the most obvious questions is whether EVs are as “green” as proclaimed and why is it that certain key factors are ignored by their loudest cheerleaders? Ignorance, laziness or just an age-old human desire to believe in something that is promised as a quick and easy “fix”? Unfortunately, history has shown us that the “quicker and easier” the fix, the more costly it is in the long run.
