THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD.

This machine has to move 500 tons of soil/mineral that will be refined to create a lithium car battery. It consumes 450 litres of fuel in a 12-hour shift.

Lithium is refined from the mineral using sulphuric acid. A lithium mine is estimated to require up to 75 loads of sulphuric acid a day.

An open mine will consume billions of liters of underground water, pollute aquifers and produce mountains of toxic waste. According to estimates by Lithium Americas cited by The New York Times, a mine will consume 12,200 liters of water per second to produce 66,000 tons of lithium carbonate per year.

When the source of lithium is an alkaline brine lake, the standard lithium extraction technique is to evaporate the water from the brine. Lithium chloride turns into hydroxide salt or carbonate and then goes through an evaporation stage.

An electric car battery, say a Tesla, is made of 11 pounds of lithium, 27 pounds of nickel, 19 pounds of manganese, 13 pounds of cobalt, 90 pounds of copper, and 181 pounds of aluminum, steel and plastic, averaging 385 pounds of minerals, qu and they had to be mined and processed into a battery that simply stores electricity.. Electricity generated by oil, gas, coal, nuclear power or water and a tiny fraction of wind and solar….

Europe’s largest lithium mine will be in Spain: the Las Navas site, and it will be able to extract 1.2 million tons of material annually, making room for 30,000 tons of lithium sulfate usable for batteries electric cars.

After analyzing the data we can assure that manufacturing an electric car pollutes 70% more than one does gasoline.

So I wonder why the climate change alarm only affects fuel vehicles?.
