Albo and Bowen, too dumb to understand.
So is much of Australia.
This is a “CAT 994H” loader
“It burns 7560 litres of diesel fuel for 2x 24 hour shifts.
“A machine like this is required to move 500 tons of earth/ore which will be refined into one lithium car battery. Lithium is refined from ore using sulfuric acid. The proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass, Nevada is estimated to require up to 75 semi-loads of sulfuric acid a day.!
The acid does not turn into unicorn food as AOC believes.
Refining lithium has created several EPA SUPERFUND SITES, AND IT IS VERY TOXIC TO THE ENVIRONMENT.!
A battery in an electric car, let’s say an average Tesla, is made of:25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic, etc…. averaging 750-1,000 pounds of minerals, that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity…. Electricity which is generated by oil, gas, coal, or water ( and a tiny fraction of wind and solar )….
That is the truth, about the lie, of “green” energy.
There’s nothing green about the “Green New Deal”.
People had better learn how to vote or this nonsense will continue to flow down on top of you from the throne of government upon of which you put these people.
Stop drinking the Green New Deal’s sulfuric acid
