money power destruction are on the menu for the global elites
Amen brother there is a lot more here than meets the eye.
The logical answer is to reduce the population........you mean Covid?
"why push battery powered vehicles?"
The same reason we replaced paper bags with plastic bags, we do "recycling" and carbon credits, for example. Because there is a lot of MONEY in it.
We first use an altruist excuse to feel ourselves better (on the previous examples, saves the trees, reduces the amount of waste and balances the carbon footprints). Then the media, companies and governments hammer those "truths" in the masses, which then are happy to change to the tune of the new "truths", keeping the same destructive behavior, but feeling great about ourselves. As in our examples, the plastic contamination is affecting a lot of species beyond trees, most of the recycling used to go to China and ended in landfills outside North America, and carbon offsetting just allows companies to make money by selling "credits" that are not even real. At the end, a handful of companies "leaders in the field" make a huge amount of money and the world is in worse state than when we started the cycle.
The EV push is just another round of this cycle, where some companies are making billions, even when we are wasting more, or using more "coal-oil generated" electricity, or we'll cause even greater damage with the batteries in the landfills. BTW, lithium is very reactive (meaning it will combine easily with other elements) and it is used in medicine for stabilizing "crazy" people. So I am expecting (as a plus) that all humankind will become more docile and less aggressive.
The best way to help the planet is dying, but humans are living longer. We need more "stuff" to be happy, even when it ends brand new in a garage sale. There are too many resource-sucking "ticks" on the round "dog" we call Earth. The logical answer is to reduce the population, but governments have spent so much future income taxes (debt of 28 trillions in US alone), that they need more people to tax and to continue the cycle. Another logical answer is to reduce the consumption per person, but then a lot of companies are going to be bankrupt. Companies know this and spend a lot of money in marketing (to make sure the masses keep spending) and buying politicians (to make sure no laws are passed down).
When (if) people realize what's going on, will be probably late for a lot of species and the poorest human beings (and no, none of them are in US). We are (probably) doomed because of our ignorance and greed.
Thanks
A lot of that was caused by deregulation, followed by corporate greed and corruption.
It is far better to have the staples of life like water and power regulated by the government.
But electric vehicles will create jobs. And the air will be clean again
No. And ask people in California and Texas where they have rolling blackouts how much they think of EVs.
Hint...... it isn’t about creating jobs!
