Are Battery driven cars ecologically sound ???

A few facts!

Eye opener!

Total fuel consumption of U.S. airlines is approximately 19 billion gallons annually.

Total fuel consumption for mining Ore for construction of electric car batteries is approximately 21 billion gallons annually.

The 21 billion gallons of fuel burned can only produce enough Ore to build 250,000 electric car batteries.

The lifespan of an electric battery is 10 years and is not renewable. By 2050 these batteries will fill landfills with 50 million pounds of waste that does not break down.

I wonder if people would still believe in electric power cars, vehicles or equipment if they knew how massive the carbon emissions footprint really was?

 

Just to add a little something to that, something that is often forgotten when talking about how much more climate and enviroment friendly electrical cars is, is the fact that the batteries also needs to be recharged, depending on the car uit often actually, and in order to charge the car battery you need a charger hooked up to the electricity network, meaning more power needs to be made, and that is not necessarily climate friendly it all depends on how that electricity /power is made.
