As the accompanying article states: "Although pretty from a distance, lithium mines are environmentally damaging and use a lot water and energy."

But hey, it's not coming out of a tailpipe on the EV, so it must be "environmentally friendly".
"F**king idiot" is a perfectly sober sobriquet for the sort that believes that nonsense.

The B&D plant was built on farmland itself. The plant that makes products there made them in China. Do you want the jobs or not?
If you feel so bad about farmland being used up, year down your home that was most likely farmland at one time and plant corn on your lot
15 acres to generate a paltry 4.3 MW is a lot, particularly when the heat island effect is taken into account. It's a really environmentally unfriendly way to generate electricity.

Yes, let's follow the money. Even with 1/3 the labor cost and 1/2 the parts, electric vehicles cost considerably more even with hefty government subsidies. Which is why ICE vehicles make more economic sense, at least to those who buy them.

Your BIL is saying what he needs to say to keep his job and keep those defense dept dollars flowing. But what he says about EVs being superior to diesel is complete bullshit. How far can an M1 go on batteries? And how do you charge it 30 miles into enemy territory with no power lines in sight? A fuel truck can make it there in an hour. Repairing power lines and bringing in a charging platform would take weeks. Not only that, every electric vehicle in an entire battle zone can be taken out with one EMP device.
If your BIL is really saying this, then he should be ashamed of himself for wasting US taxpayer dollars on such a poorly thought out policy. Why not start out with the Air Force first to see how viable electric planes and helicopters work out.

Then recent strikes was mainly about EV's because the unions saw EV's would eliminate much of their jobs,
If that were even remotely true it wouldn't require government to twist everyone's arms to do it. People would be flocking to lower cost better solutions. It simply isn't true.
