Watch Thread and ask who can come to Thacker Pass!
Who enjoys doing ecocide and promotes car culture?

Billionaires For Future again? Hmmm...

The new trend now -> they show fierce "fight" with mining while promoting it all the time and putting in official documents and strategies.

Green transport or lithium transport? Hmmm...

The habitat cost of a "green" automobile: lithium strip mining, cobalt mining, sulphuric acid processing, water pollution... "green" isn't really green.

"The King’s River Pyrg is a critically imperiled snail species known to only reside in 13 isolated springs on Thacker Pass. A lithium mine would most definitely ensure the loss of this species forever."

Who enjoys doing ecocide and promotes car culture?

Note: electric cars don't help to decarbonize at all.

Find more information in this thread:
Decarbonization with electric cars is not working.
Most research is biased. Take a calculator:

Bought 2nd Battery for their car:
How can you make a nice report of 3x times betterness?

Look at the scientific report, that doesn't calculate 2nd battery. In there, no difference in 50% of cases or 35% betterness.

And then convert this chart to 200% betterness

This is how it is sold, Thread with real reports:
This is how electricity worked in UK in April 2021.

Marginal emissions plants are coal, gas, biomass, etc.
In this case Gas (orange).

You plug in your brand new car.
And marginal plant burns more gas.
You can't force the wind to blow faster.

All real data in this thread:
Is decarbonization with electric cars work?
Or it is a path to +4C degrees world?

by reading this thread (to the very top) you'll see that an electric car needs 2 batteries

chart is imprecise:
-12 times more dirty mining needed than for conventional
-2 times more mining is needed for solar, because of batteries:
Replacing 1 Billion Cars With 1 Billion Electric Cars = Even More Metals!
This is what is planned to be done on the beautiful land called Thacker Pass:

Who promotes car culture?

The battery for the truck alone is 816 kg.
Per latest estimates (see in thread above) it is:
125 kWh * 106kg = 13250 kg = 13 Tons of CO2 or 29000 pounds

"big business just makes you think there's a fight with the fossils industry. not at all, it's imitation, PR

the fight has not yet started

there are two heads: fossil fuels & fossil materials

lithium is the new oil/gold:"

"You say solar panels -you say coal
You say shopping -you say coal
