                      <p>This is good information to know when the politicians try to force us to eliminate fossil fuels. Take a few minutes to listen to the facts you most likely do not know. Then try to figure out why they are forcing us to
                        electric vehicles. I can’t.</p>
                      <p>What is a battery? I think Tesla said it best when they called it an Energy Storage System. That's important: Batteries do not make energy. They store it.<br>
                        <br> Yes, it is true. Batteries do not make electricity; they store electricity produced elsewhere, primarily by coal, uranium, natural gas-powered plants, or diesel-fueled generators. So, to say an EV is a zero-emission
                        vehicle is not at all valid. Did you know that 40% of the electricity generated in the U.S. is from coal-fired plants. Thus, the truth stands to follow that 40% of the EVs on the road are coal-powered.
                      </p>
                      <p>Einstein's formula, E=MC2, tells us it takes the same amount of energy to move a five-thousand-pound gasoline-driven automobile a mile as it does an electric one. The only question, again, is what produces the power? To
                        reiterate, it does not come from the battery; the battery is only the storage device, like a gas tank in a car.</p>

                      <p>This may sound like you are deep in a rabbit hole — please listen to this to understand what we are all facing with electric car batteries. Then you can decide for yourself.</p>
                      <p>There are two orders of batteries, rechargeable, and single-use. The most common single-use batteries are A, AA, AAA, C, D. 9V, and other specialty batteries. Those dry-cell batteries use zinc, manganese, lithium, silver
                        oxide, zinc and carbon to store electricity chemically. All batteries contain toxic, heavy metals that are hazardous to the environment.</p>
                      <p>Rechargeable batteries only differ in that their internal materials are usually lithium-ion, nickel-metal oxide, and nickel-cadmium. The United States uses 3 billion of these two types of batteries per year, and most are not
                        recycled; they end up in landfills. California is the only state which requires all batteries be recycled. If you throw your small, used batteries in the trash, here is what happens to them.</p>
                      <p>All batteries are self-discharging. That means even when not in use, they leak tiny amounts of energy. You have likely ruined a flashlight or two from an old, ruptured battery with corrosion. When a battery runs down and can
                        no longer power a toy, remote control or flashlight, most people say that the battery is dead.</p>

                      <p>Well, it is not. It continues to leak small amounts of electricity. As the chemicals inside it run out, pressure builds inside the battery's metal casing, and eventually, it cracks. The metals left inside then ooze out. That
                        ooze has ruined many a flashlight, and it is toxic. And so is the ooze that will inevitably leak from every battery in a landfill. All batteries eventually rupture; it just takes rechargeable batteries longer to end up in the
                        landfill.</p>
                      <p>In addition to dry cell batteries, there are also wet cell ones used in automobiles, boats, and motorcycles. The good thing about these types of batteries is that 90% of them are recycled.</p>
                      <p>But that is not half of it. For those of you excited about electric cars and a green revolution, I want you to take a closer look at batteries, windmills and solar panels. These three technologies share what the industry
                        calls environmentally destructive embedded costs. Everything manufactured has two costs associated with it: embedded costs and operating costs. I will explain embedded costs.</p>

                      <p>Here is an example of embedded costs. Let's say you learned that canned corn is on sal. You drive your car to the grocery store. The corn is on the shelf with the discounted price costs $1.75 a can. The cost of that can of
                        corn has embedded costs. The first cost is the diesel fuel the farmer used to plow the field, till the ground, harvest the corn, and transport it to the food processor. Not only is the farmers diesel fuel an embedded cost, so
                        are the costs to build the tractors, combines, and trucks. In addition, the farmer might use a nitrogen fertilizer made from natural gas.</p>
                      <p>Next is the energy costs of processing the corn, heating the building, transporting the workers, and paying for the vast amounts of electricity used to run the plant. The steel can holding the corn is also an embedded cost.
                        Making the steel can requires mining taconite, shipping it by boat, extracting the iron, placing it in a coal-fired blast furnace, and adding carbon. Then it's back on another truck to take the corn to the grocery store.
                        Finally, add in the cost of the gasoline for your own car.</p>
                      <p>How does this impact electric cars batteries? A typical EV battery weighs one thousand pounds, about the size of a large piece of luggage or 2,000 cell phones. It contains 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds
                        of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells.</p>
                      <p>It should concern you that all those toxic components come from mining. To manufacture each electric vehicle auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000
                        pounds of ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper.<br>
                        <br> All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just one battery!
                      </p>
                      <p>Sixty-eight percent of the world's cobalt, a significant part of a battery, comes from the Congo. Their mines have no pollution controls, and they employ children who die from handling this toxic material. We should factor in
                        the human cost as part of the cost of driving an electric car....But that is yet a whole other subject.</p>
                      <p>I'd like to leave you with these thoughts. California is building the largest battery in the world near San Francisco, and they intend to power it from solar panels and windmills. They claim this is the ultimate in being
                        "green," but it is not! This construction project is creating an environmental disaster.</p>
                      <p>The main problem with solar arrays is the chemicals needed to process silicate into the silicon used in the panels. To make pure enough silicon requires processing it with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid,
                        hydrogen fluoride, trichloroethane, and acetone. In addition, the solar arrays also need gallium, arsenide, copper-indium-gallium- diselenide, and cadmium-telluride, which also are highly toxic. Silicon dust is a hazard to the
                        workers, and the panels cannot be recycled.</p>
                      <p>Windmills are the ultimate in embedded costs and environmental destruction. Each weighs 1688 tons (the equivalent of 23 houses) and contains 1300 tons of concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fiberglass,
                        and the hard to extract rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. Each blade weighs 81,000 pounds and will last 15 to 20 years, at which time it must be replaced. We cannot recycle used blades. Sadly, both solar
                        arrays and windmills kill birds, bats, sea life, and migratory insects.</p>
                      <p>There may be a place for these technologies, but you must look beyond the myth of zero emissions. Many have predicted EVs and windmills will be abandoned once the embedded environmental costs of making and replacing them
                        become apparent.<br>
                        <br> "Going Green" may sound like the an ideal solution on the surface and can create followers with catchy buzzwords, but when you look at the hidden and embedded costs realistically with an open mind, you can see that Going
                        Green is more destructive to the Earth's environment than meets the eye, for sure.

This is good information to know when the politicians try to force us to
eliminate fossil fuels. Take a few minutes to listen to the facts you most
likely do not know. Then try to figure out why they are forcing us to electric
vehicles. I can’t.

What is a battery? I think Tesla said it best when they called it an Energy
Storage System. That's important: Batteries do not make energy. They store it.

Yes, it is true. Batteries do not make electricity; they store electricity
produced elsewhere, primarily by coal, uranium, natural gas-powered plants, or
diesel-fueled generators. So, to say an EV is a zero-emission vehicle is not at
all valid. Did you know that 40% of the electricity generated in the U.S. is
from coal-fired plants. Thus, the truth stands to follow that 40% of the EVs on
the road are coal-powered.

Einstein's formula, E=MC2, tells us it takes the same amount of energy to move a
five-thousand-pound gasoline-driven automobile a mile as it does an electric
one. The only question, again, is what produces the power? To reiterate, it does
not come from the battery; the battery is only the storage device, like a gas
tank in a car.



This may sound like you are deep in a rabbit hole — please listen to this to
understand what we are all facing with electric car batteries. Then you can
decide for yourself.

There are two orders of batteries, rechargeable, and single-use. The most common
single-use batteries are A, AA, AAA, C, D. 9V, and other specialty batteries.
Those dry-cell batteries use zinc, manganese, lithium, silver oxide, zinc and
carbon to store electricity chemically. All batteries contain toxic, heavy
metals that are hazardous to the environment.

Rechargeable batteries only differ in that their internal materials are usually
lithium-ion, nickel-metal oxide, and nickel-cadmium. The United States uses 3
billion of these two types of batteries per year, and most are not recycled;
they end up in landfills. California is the only state which requires all
batteries be recycled. If you throw your small, used batteries in the trash,
here is what happens to them.

All batteries are self-discharging. That means even when not in use, they leak
tiny amounts of energy. You have likely ruined a flashlight or two from an old,
ruptured battery with corrosion. When a battery runs down and can no longer
power a toy, remote control or flashlight, most people say that the battery is
dead.

Well, it is not. It continues to leak small amounts of electricity. As the
chemicals inside it run out, pressure builds inside the battery's metal casing,
and eventually, it cracks. The metals left inside then ooze out. That ooze has
ruined many a flashlight, and it is toxic. And so is the ooze that will
inevitably leak from every battery in a landfill. All batteries eventually
rupture; it just takes rechargeable batteries longer to end up in the landfill.

In addition to dry cell batteries, there are also wet cell ones used in
automobiles, boats, and motorcycles. The good thing about these types of
batteries is that 90% of them are recycled.

But that is not half of it. For those of you excited about electric cars and a
green revolution, I want you to take a closer look at batteries, windmills and
solar panels. These three technologies share what the industry calls
environmentally destructive embedded costs. Everything manufactured has two
costs associated with it: embedded costs and operating costs. I will explain
embedded costs.



Here is an example of embedded costs. Let's say you learned that canned corn is
on sal. You drive your car to the grocery store. The corn is on the shelf with
the discounted price costs $1.75 a can. The cost of that can of corn has
embedded costs. The first cost is the diesel fuel the farmer used to plow the
field, till the ground, harvest the corn, and transport it to the food
processor. Not only is the farmers diesel fuel an embedded cost, so are the
costs to build the tractors, combines, and trucks. In addition, the farmer might
use a nitrogen fertilizer made from natural gas.

Next is the energy costs of processing the corn, heating the building,
transporting the workers, and paying for the vast amounts of electricity used to
run the plant. The steel can holding the corn is also an embedded cost. Making
the steel can requires mining taconite, shipping it by boat, extracting the
iron, placing it in a coal-fired blast furnace, and adding carbon. Then it's
back on another truck to take the corn to the grocery store. Finally, add in the
cost of the gasoline for your own car.

How does this impact electric cars batteries? A typical EV battery weighs one
thousand pounds, about the size of a large piece of luggage or 2,000 cell
phones. It contains 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of
manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of
aluminum, steel, and plastic. Inside are over 6,000 individual lithium-ion
cells.

It should concern you that all those toxic components come from mining. To
manufacture each electric vehicle auto battery, you must process 25,000 pounds
of brine for the lithium, 30,000 pounds of ore for the cobalt, 5,000 pounds of
ore for the nickel, and 25,000 pounds of ore for copper.

All told, you dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just one battery!

Sixty-eight percent of the world's cobalt, a significant part of a battery,
comes from the Congo. Their mines have no pollution controls, and they employ
children who die from handling this toxic material. We should factor in the
human cost as part of the cost of driving an electric car....But that is yet a
whole other subject.

I'd like to leave you with these thoughts. California is building the largest
battery in the world near San Francisco, and they intend to power it from solar
panels and windmills. They claim this is the ultimate in being "green," but it
is not! This construction project is creating an environmental disaster.

The main problem with solar arrays is the chemicals needed to process silicate
into the silicon used in the panels. To make pure enough silicon requires
processing it with hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen
fluoride, trichloroethane, and acetone. In addition, the solar arrays also need
gallium, arsenide, copper-indium-gallium- diselenide, and cadmium-telluride,
which also are highly toxic. Silicon dust is a hazard to the workers, and the
panels cannot be recycled.

Windmills are the ultimate in embedded costs and environmental destruction. Each
weighs 1688 tons (the equivalent of 23 houses) and contains 1300 tons of
concrete, 295 tons of steel, 48 tons of iron, 24 tons of fiberglass, and the
hard to extract rare earths neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. Each blade
weighs 81,000 pounds and will last 15 to 20 years, at which time it must be
replaced. We cannot recycle used blades. Sadly, both solar arrays and windmills
kill birds, bats, sea life, and migratory insects.

There may be a place for these technologies, but you must look beyond the myth
of zero emissions. Many have predicted EVs and windmills will be abandoned once
the embedded environmental costs of making and replacing them become apparent.

"Going Green" may sound like the an ideal solution on the surface and can create
followers with catchy buzzwords, but when you look at the hidden and embedded
costs realistically with an open mind, you can see that Going Green is more
destructive to the Earth's environment than meets the eye, for sure.
