The amount of cobalt used in EV's is minuscule to the amount used in all the electronic goods and industry out there.

Still, the amount of cobalt available is not enough to turn merely England all-electric.  *Just England*

I drove a Tesla and it gives a tremendous ride/torque/response, quietness. Once you drive one you will understand why they will take over ICE cars
SO yes I am looking at the new Toyota EV's when they come out later this year or early next.

Nah. You've never been in a quarter mile car or a drag rail, have you? And this coming from a guy who actually worked on an electric mini-drag rail, back in the day.

And I am perfectly happy to admit the superior torque that comes from an electric motor. That ain't the only consideration.

And I hope you have the money... because that EV will be worth nothing in a few years when the battery goes out of it.

Army officials question plan for future attack reconnaissance

DENVER — After canceling the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft program earlier this year, the U.S. Army has yet to earnestly invest in its manned attack helicopter or other capability to fill the armed recon role, and service leaders warn that without a clear plan, its ability to fight as effectively in future wars could be in jeopardy.

The Army has talked about how unmanned systems and sensors will largely perform such a mission along with the AH-64E Apache attack helicopter when required, but little money is programmed to be spent on the aircraft in the coming years.


While there are plenty of ideas streaming in from industry, the service is still working through technology that will be critical to integrate pilots, drones and soldiers on the ground to fill the mission and has yet to present a clear upgrade plan for the Apache.

And even four-star combatant commanders have questions.

Does she get to speak for him when he freezes making big military decisions?

Exclusive: Jill intervenes during Joe’s unexpected speech to wounded warriors after he freezes

Before the start of Wednesday’s Wounded Warrior Project’s annual Soldier Ride, which started at the White House lawn, Dr. Jill Biden spoke about the steps the Biden administration has taken to expand care for veterans.

The multiday bike ride began in 2004 to help raise awareness for injured veterans and the tradition of starting the ride from the White House began in 2008.

“My husband often says that we have many obligations as a nation but only one sacred obligation: to support you and your families when we send you into harm’s way and when you return,” the First Lady said of her husband, who is hoping to secure a second term as president.

The White House released video coverage of her speech that covered topics such as, quality home health care, providing benefits and care for veterans harmed by toxins, preventing homelessness, and even helping spouses of active-duty and retired servicemembers.
