It isn't as if these problems haven't been pointed out, repeatedly, but the font of 'unintended consequences' on the Left refuses to look at anything but tailpipe emissions. Maybe they have some sort of tailpipe fetish/fixation, but all the other problems, from sourcing materials to known reserves of the minerals involved, to range, reliability in adverse climates, fire fighting if the batteries catch fire, emissions from fires, leachates and runoff from firefighting and the effects on watersheds and wildlife, disposal of batteries and vehicles at the end of their service life, etc. have NOT been considered, just as the narrow focus on temperature trends in the history of the planet is used to justify mandating these things in the first place.
Cherry picked and altered data are not a good basis for long term strategies.
