Electric cars companies are lying to you: their products aren't even close to being zero emissions. But hey, aren't these new "environmentally friendly" vehicles supposed to help us save the planet? Well, I'm not so sure.
Of course, in many ways electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones. In most nations, an electric car puts out less carbon than a gas car per mile or kilometre. But most of the time, the carbon and cost to our planet of manufacturing electric cars and the waste they produce aren't factored in. And neither is the cost of human lives, especially in cobalt mining.
Of course, a lot of these facts are glossed over, or buried via PR and shady marketing tactics, just so that Telsla, and other electric car manufacturers can peddle the "zero emission" lie, in order to make a lot of money.

Hell no time to switch to hemp one year of growing could almost eradicate the cotton. Fossil fuel and wood industry in one swing 👍🏼🇬🇬
The biggest irony to me is that here in America, you'll most likely be plugging into fossil fuels to charge your car.
Keep up the good work!
Nice video , hope folks get acknowledged as videos like this published to the web.
Climate change now. It was an ice age coming back in the 60’s. We were running outta oil in the 70’s. There’s always something the governments of the world will use as an excuse to push their agendas. Just recently the American CDC place unbaxxenatud as resistant to our latest world concern as a person with multiple jabs. Our governments won’t stop lying to us and stripping our liberties along the way. Love your channel! Glad I found it! I’ve been to Iceland twice. Once for winter solstice and once the following year for summer solstice. My exwife really enjoyed blue lagoon and I loved the glacier ice caves, diamonds on the beach(I forgot the name… big bridge & many tourists) and hot springs. We didn’t make a trip completely around the island, but maybe halfway.
inject atomized water into 10kV at 3kHz PWM, splitting the molecule. Hydrogen on demand. Use the car's ignition system with a pulse generator (555) on the 12V side.
As an automotive engineer I've been telling people this the whole time and people called me names like "EV hater" or "funded by oil". So I decided to shut up and let the climate change do it's thing
Same here... Sad but true, it's frustrating to represent the minority
Climate change is more of a religion than a science to allot of people.
Watch the documentary "Planet of the Humans" and see how stupid some of these approaches are.
You tube it.
Or maybe Netflix 🤔

The video clips in this video literally shows battery recycling happening while you're saying batteries aren't being recycled. Is this a satire video?
Nope, just badly researched.
It's so manipulative to show batteries being recycled while saying they are not recyclable
While batteries can be recycled, lithium batteries are a bit more complicated to recycle and is not cost effective and not an environmentally clean process. I would like to see more electric cars, but realistically we need to build the infrastructure to support it first and find a cleaner way to power the charging stations to have the environmental impact we are all hoping for. Unfortunately we are nowhere close to that currently in the US.
@@richieuhh85 Several companies are already recycling lithium batteries right now, as we speak, and recycling ~99% of the battery. Look at the facts. Infrastructure will only happen with demand. Do you think we built 145,000 gas stations before a single gasoline car hit the road? Of course not, nor will we build hundreds of thousands of charging stations and dozens of battery recycling plants, until they're needed. Infrastructure will come as EV sales continue to increase.
@@richieuhh85 Regardless, EVs today are much better than ICE cars. It makes both financial and environmental to use an EV option. It makes no sense to keep using ICE cars because EVs aren't a perfect solution.
The lies and fallacies in here are so bad, that I can't trust you on any other subject...
actually, most of the headlines on her videos are damning . . .
she's a fountain of lies, paranoia, and misinformation (facts taken entirely out of context and made to represent something else).
Sounds pretty straightforward to me, I think she’s mostly right
@@sethtenrec If you're not ideologically posessed, then give this video a try. And if you think they're Tesla fanboys, then you'd be right. :-) Instead of listening to their own words and opinions, listen to what the facts (with sources) and studies (with references) they present.
Do you know what Cobalt is also used for? Refining gasoline!
100%
Excellent!!
How much plastic do you consume?
I bought a first generation Nissan Leaf in 2012. Great car. Saved me a fortune on gas, oil changes, etc. However, now, 10 years later, the battery has "worn" to the point that the range (which was only a fraction of a gasoline-powered vehicle to begin with) is now about 2/3 of what it was new. As the car has aged, I've found more and more places that I'm afraid to go. Range anxiety is not only a factor at initial purchase, it's a cancer that steadily gets worse as the car ages. So why not replace the batteries? The current estimate for new batteries for my Leaf is about $7500. Not only is this more than the value of the car, it more than offsets ALL of the savings during the last 10 years.
You really shouldn't compare a 2012 Leaf to today's EV... they are different breeds at this point.
thats what happens when you're an early adopter of new technology. also, 10 years is pretty good. if you got 150000 miles out of that care before the range really stated to drop (loosing more than 25%), thats pretty good. 100000 miles is less great, but acceptable.
Sounds like you may have rushed into an emotional purchase without understanding the fundamentals of how batteries work/cost.
What did you expect? EV's will never be what real cars are. They're a novelty and status symbol, nothing more.
What did you expect? EV's will never be what real cars are. They're a novelty and status symbol, nothing more.
10 years ago I bought an electric car and I have been recharging it with my off grid solar system. Also my batteries do not contain cobalt. My goal is to have energy independence for life. I’ve almost achieved it completely
Lol i like your lastname lol is it real..?
rock on. LFP batteries? tha bomb.
Sorry but all EVs are made of lithium and cobalt and are products of slavery, they are not emissions free and in total more unfriendly to the environment as she's just told you the batteries can't be recycled, petrol and diesel vehicles produce far less "emissions" but CO2 in itself is not the enemy in fact life wouldn't exist without it, there is no climate change caused by humans, you're being scammed wake up
What planet is this then . No road tax, no fuel tax and free electric. The honeymoon has to end when everyone else shows their unease paying for people who don't pay their way.
@@stevendellow9505 I drive a tesla model Y... I paid the state of CA $760 last year FOR driving the model Y. AND YOUR POINT IS?
Simple logic, you can make electricity tens of way, anywhere. Gas is only made one way in a limited number of places.
You are looking at only a part of the elephant
Gas is everywhere as are fossil fuels. Have you any idea the trillions of tonnes of fossil fuels being wasted on batteries, nuclear power stations, photovoltaic panels and all the fake renewable energy. Obviously not.
Also, batteries are highly recyclable (and getting better quickly), and gasoline is not.
@@carltonjones947 gasoline is recycled in the form of plant life. Or are you another believer co2 is a demon . Don't forget plant life cannot live without co2 and we cannot live without plants. Also there is real evidence co2 has very little effect on temperature and the more there is the less any effect. Wasting trillions of tonnes of fossil fuels on battery manufacturing and nuclear reactors isn't very forward thinking. Political force, money and so called renewable and energy dependency are overused in mainstream media.
Essentially, given that virtually anyone can make electricity, be it from the sun, the wind, or even the acid of a lemon, it’s very hard to own “electricity,” per se. Oil, however, can be owned, and it takes billions of dollars of equipment to refine and distribute oil and gas. This more or less explains why big oil exists… and why it fights so hard to delay the transition to renewable energy and sustainable transportation.
@@GreenNeighbour Again missing the point. You need a heck of a lot of electricity to run one small car. A lemon might run a pocket calculator.
What about the fact cobalt is used in the refining of fossil fuels?
True, it is. For reference, we’ve made no less than four videos on this channel so far exposing the fossil fuel industry.
More cobalt is used to refine oil then used in batteries. A lot of miss information in this video. Sad!!
@@MarkyMark662 AND she keeps replying to people about her four videos on exposing the fossil fuel industry. That doesn't make this video any less of a mess, Sorelle.
We need to consider the lifetime of Co-driven products like CoMo catalyst in refineries. Also, there are advanced existing recycling techniques to re-activate and reuse the cobalt in refineries. On the other hand, there would be more research on cobalt recycling from EV batteries which optimistically reduces the need for fresh mining. Time will tell us :)
HEY! pay no attention to the guy behind the curtain. lmao. people who drive gas cars pointing the finger at tesla? that's like geoffrey dahmer calling someone a child abuser. which aspect would they like to discuss first? pollution? LMAO!!! ok... that one's just too hilarious to even talk about. human atrocities? ok- the kids in the DRC- well, those kids WENT HOME at the end of their shift. ask the people over in the mid-east what happens when you oppose the occupation of big oil? most likely- you'll meet with the business end of an M-4 or an abrams main battle tank. hmmm... let's see... eeny meenie miney moe....
Throw your laptop. It's full of Cobalt , and your phone, watch, computers and your gas car too uses it!. This is crazy
The max range of an EV battery does wear down over time, but the batteries are still perfectly usable at 100k, 150k miles. I've worked with these cars and I see plenty of old Model S vehicles still working fine.
And LFP packs probably push this up to over 500K miles.
There are a couple of million Mile teslas.
They are also close to 100% recyclable into new batteries.
So smothering the planet in nuclear reactors, battery factories, lithium and cobalt mines and all the associated damage that's irreversible and does not dissipate but actually builds and lasts for thousands if not millions of years gives you a nice feeling of satisfaction. Battery vehicles make engined vehicles look like a miles better option.
@@stevendellow9505 the hyperbole is not needed. It will all be over by 2035. There will be no more ice vehicles being sold. Just BEVs. The poison being spewed into the air will end. Recycling batteries is a profitable thing already. Nuclear is necessary. As long as you don't stick it anywhere near a fault line or volcano, they are safe.
You should stop lying about Electric Cars. You must be heavily invested in fossil fuel companies; how much are they paying you to lie about EV's.
Considering we’ve done 4 videos so far exposing the fossil fuel industry, that doesn’t make much sense at all.
Funny enough, fossil fuel companies like shell and exxon are the ones most heavily invested into the EV and ESG scams, wake up, you are shilling their BS for free
😂 Just because you hate hideously unpleasant facts doesn't make them lies.
@@serfcityherewecome8069 What makes them lies is scientific research and data, all of which were absent from the video
The person who owns this channel tried to basically argue both sides of the argument and show that there is no correct decision
this is blatantly incorrect, there is clearly a correct decision, EVs give off 30% less CO2 in use even when using electricity from coal, the information in this video is literally lies from the oil industry, this isn't the fault of the channel owner, they are clearly just trying to capitalise on the "EV trend" youtube is promoting right now, what's upsetting is their incompetence might actually mislead people like you
But I suppose that just demonstrates the bell curve
@@serfcityherewecome8069 the issue is, the entire video is a long string of straight up lies or misleading half truths. A whole lot of bs that a 5 minute google search would debunk.
Old news - getting off cobalt has been the strategy of the EV industry (and beyond) for years. It’s indeed being phased out in Tesla’s latest standard range LIFEPO4 (iron phosphate) packs - this is an important topic and a complicated one, unfortunately treated with news article-reading level of research here..
Yup, exactly. 50% of all Teslas produced last quarter were using LFP batteries which contain no cobalt at all. Additionally, saying that batteries will need to be replaced after 100k miles or anything close to that is bs and old news. New EVs will be outlived by their batteries. Also batteries are incredibly easy to recycle, at least compared to mining and refining all that material instead. EVs are the future and have been proven to be a lot more environmentally friendly than ICE cars. Is walking, biking and public transportation even more environmentally friendly? Totally. If you need to buy a new car, however, EVs are definitely the way to go. This video just seemed like she already came to the conclusion and then researched a couple of points to discredit EVs. She even says herself that EVs are cleaner after just 60k miles (more like 20k but it depends on what electricity is used). Weak arguments tbh.
@@schraderclemens6122 That's all wonderful news if true, that would assure a growing future market for the industry. However, banning gas powered cars signals the opposite - EV cars won't be able to sufficiently compete, at least not to the extent that those advocating for bans would like. Sorry, but as of now, it seems that electric may be the future indeed, not due to its merits, but due to government forcefully sabotaging the alternatives.
I just ordered a TM3LR with child labor included. If children did not mine the Cobalt they would starve. I am doing my part to feed the children, are you?
@@davidbeppler3032 Yes, you did your part. Congrets😉
@@netrox1345 Kept 500 kids fed with that purchase. I will sleep better at night knowing my cobalt purchase was worth it.
People incorrectly believe that “electricity” is a source of energy, however it’s the usage of energy. The end product. We don’t farm electricity from thunder clouds, electricity must be generated.
yes, thank you - there was a guy in the comments saying that electricity is free. like wtf
Bro imagine being able to generate electricity from the sun!? That would be some next level shit! Like WTF…
🤦🏽♂️🤣smh
@@Dontmakemewaitforever Ya, because solar panels don’t require ANY energy to create, install, or maintain, correct? How’s fantasy land btw?
@@sewersideproductions2606 it’s better knowing what I know and what you think you do🙏🏽👌🏽
@@Dontmakemewaitforever Nice vague reply, with zero evidence or information to back up your claims of magical, free electricity. At least you got your emojis in there though.
I worked in the semiconductor industry for 30+ years. No product is more damaging to the environment when taking into account cradle-to-grave.
Yup!
I dunno about that, the Chinese Housing market seems worse, buy a 39th floor apartment now to put a baby inside and raise, by three years old that child will probably be in their grave and the building falls over!
But more seriously, pretty sure there are worse products in the food, cosmetic and clothing industries. Microplastics in toothpaste... polluting water sources with plastics for many years to come... yeah. Semiconductor industry isn't great but I don't think it's that hard to say there are things in those industries which are worse.
As if normal cars don't use semiconductors. Ugh.
Okay. Seems like all of you missed the point. If it has a semiconductor in it, there's no way it's environmentally friendly.
@@DoomsdayR3sistance Being antin china just because they are so green compared to the US seems weird.
I would like to see a side by side comparison of the EV vs. Combustion vehicle cost, benefit, cabon footprint, ramifications etc. There's no such thing as perfect, so assessing a list of pros/cons for both would be more helpful towards forming an opinion/decision.
You won't find that on this channel
This kind of thing has been done so many times. The problem is there are a lot of variables. How much are you paying for gas, not some outdated number in the cheapest part of the country. How clean is the grid where you live. Best case scenario you have solar panels and a power wall, worst case you live in West Virginia that relies on coal. These things are undeniable. An electric vehicle has very very few moving parts. It does not rely on igniting a fuel for energy. There is far less heat and no exhaust. It does not rely on nearly as many fluids to keep it functioning reliably. There are so many things that can go wrong in an internal combustion engine. They are amazing in their complexity. They are also totally unnecessary. Most electric vehicles do not even have a transmission. There is little reason that an electric motor can run a million miles. Batteries may not last that long but that day too is coming I believe,
@@yukikoohse1312 So, you have deliberately chosen to ignore every con about EVs that this woman has spent 10 minutes explaining to you! Your simple argument is that combustion egnines are very complex - and??? Not only are they amazingly complex but they are also incredibly reliable and VERY necessary. EVs are a complete con regarding being 'green' - yes, they have no exhaust emission but they still create the same amount of pollution from, say, brake dust, etc. Also, like the useless, inefficient, wind turbines they create massive amounts of pollution, and damage to the environment, to produce them; then, when their 'life' is exhausted (which, btw, is about 25yrs for turbine blades and around 8yrs for an EV battery) they cannot be recycled thus will go into landfill where they 'may' degrade after about 1,000yrs. A million miles in an EV - in your dreams. It is fools like you, that fall for this greenwashing, that are causing more damage to this planet than combustion engines and fossil fuels.
That's easy they are both as bad or good as each other at least until next year when charging will be £2.00/kWh, just another way to empty your pockets 20 years time they will be the next mis selling claim and we will have to pay to clean up millions of tonnes of toxic battery waste.
the original Hummer H1 emits a whopping 889 grams of CO2 per mile. That's more than double compared to the EV version. Let's compare a huge truck 9 ton hummer EV against a sedan and not the old Hummer. It's a 60% reduction
You are absolutely right saying electricity is not green. However, there is no better alternative currently. Fuel cell, hydrogen is very hard to distribute, and the cost of a charging station is prohibitively expensive. You can generate hydrogen ok, but to store enough of it, it has to be highly pressurized into very strong storage, not to mention hydrogen in gas form leaks very easily. In many Asian countries they do have LNG charging stations, but adding hydrogen storage is not trivial. EV is an interim solution to earn some time before a better solution becomes available. Green or blue(?) liquified hydrogen is also not entirely green because it's a byproduct of oil production. The only way to save Earth from overheating is a drastic reduction in human activities if it's not already too late. Building massive amounts of nuclear power plants everywhere, which they are seriously considering. Or nuclear fusion becomes commercial-ready. Why do you think that Elon or Jeff invest so much money in a maned spaceship for years without profit? It might have been their backup plan but now looks more like the only plan.
"Responsibly sourced" is the key word I see in a lot of overseas sourced products. Coffee, Food, and now Vehicle components.
"Responsibly sourced" by slave labor that we so conveniently forgot to mention.
@@i_unfriend_u Anything "responsibly sourced" in a third world country is probably a complete lie. IMO
Please don't stop at this very superficial analysis.
And do remember that petrol doesn't come out of the ground magically without any environmental damage, production of diesel/petrol cars is not free of emissions either, and most of all, the fact we produce energy from petrol now does not mean we will do so tomorrow.
Also slavery is NOT necessary to produce cobalt, we can change that.
And losing a third of the range on your car does NOT mean that you MUST suddenly throw your batteries away.
The fact the batteries are not fully design to be recycled now does NOT mean they won't be in the future.
And no one ever said "electric cars will save the world".
What we know is that we MUST stop using fossil fuels or we WILL be fucked.
This is simply a necessary step amongst so many other necessary steps.
The best, as always, is to not own a personal vehicles like the entitled rich fucks we are, and instead demand more public transport and use it.
go tell that to apple and tesla who let batteries go to waste every year because they fight right to repair. EVs are amazing, the actors behind the industry, not so much. Its not the perfect solution you think it is.
batteries are NOW 100% RECYCLEable by redwood materials- and at a profit. in fact- when redwood uses their process? 96% of the materials are recovered- including lithium, cobalt, nickel and copper. this has been general knowledge for 10 years now... do oil heads just not read? or is it something much more profit / fud driven?
@@randommage1 Tesla recycles their batteries NOW. Please stop it.
@@jaybee3165 Total bull shite, they are not 100% and no where near this. What percentage of EV batteries are recycled?
Some estimates show as little as 5 percent of those batteries end up recycled, most ending up in the trash, stored indefinitely, or exported as waste instead
@@barrygray8365 another thing I will say though- trash collectors & municipalities make it VERY inconvenient TO recycle batteries. for me? going to the battery recycler means taking an entire day off work and making a special trip. if the epa REALLY was serious about this issue- they'd make municipalities put out a 'battery box' for collecting- a lot like they currently put out a 'recycle bin'.
This video will not age well. Despite all the misinformation, people eventually figured out that smoking was bad for them.
This video is SO bad on ACTUAL data it's pathetic. It didn't have to age a single day to already be pure propaganda.
I'm guessing her next video on the subject will be about the performance weakness of electric cars and how they need far more maintenance than regular cars.... Or that they are louder or some other nonsense.
Interesting to see she has no reply to all the comments calling out her BS. If she trully believed in the points she made, she would be able to come back with an argument.
Germans gathering firewood for winter.
As this man made energy tragedy unfolds this video will be remembered as incredibly prescient.
I'm sure she's working on it, but hasn't made up her mind on weather to go into denial or issue a lame, subtle, hinted at apology.
This argument I have heard from so many other people. In my case when I decide to go electric it would have nothing to do at all environmental concerns. Don't get me wrong I think anybody with common sence would agree that we always should do more to have a cleaner environment. To me the idea of not having to go ever again to a gas station (other than do a chaging stop or get a snack) appeals to me, lower maintanece cost and charging at home with solar or power grid. But at the same time I belive that if we did our part as individuals we could be much more effective for the environment and other areas than we realize. And all doing actions at our own level and of course the actions of the energy sector and goverment. But the energy sector and goverment are entities that are out of my immediate control, so any little control I have is located at my level in my personal life and within my personal resposanbility also my fellow neighbor which it coud be done for example with me not supporting certain products, voting against certain laws, policies and even changin my own personal habits etc. But back to the subject of the video, it would be not eve of me not to think that with humans there is always the posibility of the "evil self gratification" over the good of man kind. Lets be honest, the greater the power a single human gets the greater the temptation would be. Is in our nature. We all need good guard rails for that reason. But at the same time we cannot assume everyone has an "evil" agenda until they show their true colors with what they do with that power. This subject has so many fast moving parts and so many people involved that is hard to trully make any judgment as to what to make of it. We are yet to realize how society and its effects would look like in the next few dacades. As we all see, things seem to be moving towards the electrification of cars and the fate of the gas cars seem to be going in the same direction as photo film industry went through when the digital photography took over gradually weather we wanted it or not as one example. This and many other arguments could take us into and endless waitsful rabbit hole....Do people that currently have an electric car care about where the electricity comes from now? If they do, how would they trully insure the electricity at charging station comes from renewal sources? If there was a way to know, would they have to skip many charging stations and risk been stranded? Would we stop buying an electric car because we can never know where the electricity come from at different locations? Should we scrap the whole electric car idea and stick to gas then? We can go on and on waisting our own sanity. Any significant change in human endeavor demands sacrifice, otherwise is not a real sacrifice. Let's also be vigilant of what is happening around us of course. As in anything in this life, are there going to be challenges? YES! Is there going to be people taking advantage of others? YES! since people exited, should we stop doing everthing because it rains or a disaster visited us? NO! Let's pick our own battles wisely at our level , don't sweat the small stuff, and lets take responsability for our own actions and take good care of youself, your loves ones and your neighbor as yourself. What would this world would looked like if we all made even a small effort to focus on that........?
i've said it a MILLION times- the REASONS that I own a model Y have NOTHING to do with pollution or 'saving the planet'... that's GOD's job. tesla just built a BETTER car- THAT'S ALL.
I have a sticker on my old BMW car which says: „Stop hypocrisy, go diesel” as a response to this scam. I’m from Poland and as a matter of fact I’ve been working 10 years in a coal mine which they are closing now under another sick regulations. So I know how hard is it to work in a mining industry and sweeping the fact of similar child labour under the carpet is unbelievably disgusting. Off course that is just one topic that connects to the other, to the other and so on. Those who have eyes can see it anytime. Money and control.
Diesel exhaust is terrible for people's health, though... and you burn it right where people are walking, biking, and living.

You got a coal powered car, really. Coal powered hydro plants make the electricity for your car, no?
An interesting side note, if battery packs are regarded as the high evil: The greater majority of rechargeable batteries with cobalt and other evils in them are not used to make EVs, but used for cell phones, laptops, rechargeable tools and various kinds of cheap toys and gadgets. While the greater parts of the EV industry is strict in getting their resources from as ethical sources as possible, those who make rechargeable electric and electronic gadgets do not follow such an ethical philosophy for their production. So if the creation of battery packs and the use of child labor is something that really concerns you, doing something about the lifespan of your cell phones, laptops and rechargeable tools and gadgets should be top priority - and trying to cut down on as many of them as possible something you should invest time and effort in.
Most household electronics have planned obsolescence (especially personal gadgets) so the consumer has to replace them with the latest and greatest model. I don't think we can fathom the emissions resulting from producing new iPhones and MacBook models for example, but we live in a capitalist society and corporations decide the longevity of our devices not us. Most we can do is follow correct charging procedures lol
that is agood point

@@ecospider5 Thanks i saw it thats why i came here , i cant believe the stupid comments on here .
I love petrol vehicles. The ICE is a masterpiece of engineering for its time. I was raised by a mechanic/farmer. Some of my earliest memories are of going to the Cummins shop to visit my dad working on 18 wheelers. Every time I smell diesel, I remember. But I also love electric vehicles. I even build them now. They're so much fun to drive, and I love charging up at home at my convenience instead of going out of my way to visit a gas pump every other day. They're as convenient as a cordless tool, which I also appreciate as much as my petrol equipment and hand tools. The fuel savings are enormous - 22¢/kWh vs 66¢/kWh for gas (currently) after eff is accounted for. I LOVE it. I have 5 now, but only because I build my own for a fraction of the cost. I couldn't afford to buy a Tesla or any new car for that matter LOL. But I don't see why it's got to be one or the other unless a person's being an overzealous partisan twit flirting with authoritarianism. When I got involved in building ev's and re in general, I was being influenced by my conservative and libertarian peers - the prepper type. We had loads of fun building lots of different things to help us live as independent from big brother and the increasingly 'subscriber based' corporate world as we could. But when liberals started preaching more about it and co-opted the tech as a partisan patch for their virtue signaling, the right immediately hated everything about it. I've since lost most conservative friends to the madness because I choose to be one of those 'fence sitting' centrists who pisses everyone off no matter what he does. It's ridiculous. Tribal thinking isn't going to help us at this point. Never has, never will. That should be obvious to any sober person. The reality is that the transition that the (far) left want/expect isn't going to happen overnight. Not even in their lifetime. It took over a century for much harder and more dedicated people to develop this world with fossil fuels. If the left wants to run solely on renewables and only drive ev's, then have at it. But they need to get off their butts and soap boxes and get their useless hands dirty actually building what they want instead of whining at the rest of us to provide it for nothing.
Thank you for saying this! I work as an Environmental Planner in Los Angeles and I know the best solution is eliminating single rider trips by carpooling, taking public transportation or active transportation. Also “zero emissions” is more accurately “net zero”. Reducing but not completely eliminating. Zero emission is a lie fa sho.

Did you know they had electric cars in 1909 and charging stations everywhere. Jay Lenno has one.
One of the advantages of switching to Electric cars is that the polution gets moved to Power Stations. From there upgrading or replacing a power station reduces the emissions down the chain like cars but also household. This aspect seems to be getting ignored at the moment but it means that as countries go more green at the infrastrucure level that has a far larger knock on effect than it would if everyone was still driving petrol powered cars. Electric Cars were only ever a peice of the solution but it is soemthing every person can do... sorta thing I think maybe!
Power stations are 97% efficient. Cars are 29% efficient at best. That is the advantage. Also, when was the last time you recycled a gallon of gas?
Did you know that they seams to mine like 50 tons of ore to mine Cobalt, Nickel, Lithium, ect for just a single battery pack for a single car.
1.6 billion+ (vehicles to replace on the planet) × 50 tons = a really huge sum, maybe half of Mount Everest.
@@davidbeppler3032 in which part of the world and what type of power are power stations 97% efficient?
Areas of my country replace has peaked plants with Tesla batteries and saved the government hundreds of millions of dollars.
@@trevorsoh2130 Oh, you think peaker plants are power plants. No, they are not. Peaker plants are only used for a few hours when power plants can not supply enough power during high use. Power plants are used 24/7/365.
Steam power plants are 97% efficient. Powered by coal, natural gas, kerosene, or even firewood.
Even if EVs are powered 100% by coal, they are still a better option than ICE cars. ICE is only 25% efficient. On top of that, you still have all the processing, transporting, and refining of gas which produces more CO2. The EV will still produce less CO2.
I may edit this at the end of the video but I'm taking notes now. 1:20 Always fun to compare radically different vehicles but not realistic in terms of data. 4:37 How much emission is there from your clothes washer? How much from your makeup? (Asking for a friend). 6:47 Tesla (a.k.a. Elon Musk, your villian) has been the driving force to obtain cobalt from more humane and ecological sources. Further Tesla's new battery technologies use no cobalt. 9:01 "... not right now." is the battle cry of anyone opposed to change, new ideas and discomfort with the status quo. If the U.S. had said "Not Right Now" to the space program of the 60's, where would our technology be?
You made great points about conserving and driving/flying less but that is not practicable in modern, productive life. Maybe you sit on your couch and produce videos and manage your fortune; the rest of us get out there and kick ass on the daily for our bread.
thanks me too wheres the sources at
@@angeldixon5786 The sources of Lithium are mostly in Congo. How much lithium is in a meter of Congo. Not much, so Congo is being upended to supply Lithium.
But you already knew this didn't you? Like cops shooting dark skinned people - the sources tend to be cops who investigate themselves. The mining process is enough source to work with. AVZ minerals in Congo aren't going to implicate themselves - right?
Arguing about what kind of cars (thousand of lbs) will transform extreme waste into efficiency, is a waste of time. There is no magical physics that will mitigate the impact of propelling a 1 1/2 ton vehicle to move a 150lb human and 20lbs of groceries for miles. What's required is a complete redesign of our way of living. The fact that we're stuck trying to imagine the most cost free propulsion for cars is just an artifact of a system that never cared about the environment to begin with and that's falling apart in 100 other ways. Moving stuff and people cheap is done by rail or by waiting until science overcomes mass. The kids in Congo and the fish in the ocean are counting on a rewrite of our entire human script.
Cobalt, coffee, cocoa, and clothing. Time and time again, these everyday items come to us at the cost of a child .Of course not all companies, but many turn a blind eye to it or all out cover it up).
It's not just those things. It's literally everything you consume.
But: those companies “support diversity” so - that makes it okay. Right?
The bottom line is that sociopaths have taken over the vast majority of corporations and most of government.
I’m enjoying my one way trip straight to hell with em!! Foot on gas!
Then shouldn't we be super happy that Elon Musk has been finding every way to remove things like cobalt from this equation completely? This seems to have been missed in this discussion.
@@AntonyReed Any effort to reduce the chances of child labour being used in the production of his cars is laudable. However, it doesn't negate the fact that electric cars are not emission-free as we are led to believe. The child labour issue is a complex one as nations without any social/welfare system, especially for children means that either they work and eat or don't and starve. I don't have the answers, but corporations worth billions could surely find a way to improve the conditions for all workers. They should spend less lobbying green or welfare policies and use a fraction of that cost on worker health and safety, which I'm sure they could easily do, but don't and won't.
@@07wrxtr1 Sure, Tesla supports diversity to be able to 'tick the box' as such, but with their pending lawsuits 2022 and investigations coming from outside the company, that says otherwise.
Electric cars are one part out of many to the solution. The fact that the US electric power plants, runs on fossil fuels, can't be blamed on the EVs.
They'll drive just as happy, on electricity from nuclear powerplants, wind, solar or what else may come in the future. The battery technology, is also under a lot of changes these years.
So yes they are very much, a part of the solution. Not the whole solution, but a part of it.
Very true
Wind does not blow everywhere all the time and there are issues with the turbines, sun does not shine everywhere all the time and the photo electric cell is inefficient, about 40% under ideal conditions, nuclear waste is one of the most dangerous materials on the planet. The grid cannot support the demand and battery storage capabilities are poor. Mining for materials for EV production causes environmental damage. If all factors were taken into account and scrutinized, I believe EVs have a negative effect on the environment at this time,
While they happily lying about current state of emissions of them...
@@molnibalage83
They are not lying.
You can blame EVs, because they're marketed as zero emission/green. We can have all types of tech as long as everyone is clear about the fact that everything that's dug up and processed takes a toll.
This is a very disappointing video Sorelle. And it's sad to see in this comment section that people are still so easily manipulated by cherry picked data points and glaring omissions.
I'm pretty sure that EV batteries can be 100% recycled. Fore example, Redwood Materials is creating a closed-loop, domestic supply chain for lithium-ion batteries across collection, refurbishment, recycling, refining, and remanufacturing of sustainable battery materials. There is even the notion that there comes a point where no new materials need to be mined.
There's almost always loss...so mining will be a thing...just much LESS mining to get the same amount of output.
I saw it quickly as my understanding of the EV industry grew. It wasn't about the environment or saving the world, it was making the common man feel better about their own contribution to pollution as long as they remain ignorant.
The second part that I think is the reason to push this whole EV agenda and force manufacturers to produce them is that the government wants us more dependent on the national grid, because that'd give them more control vs petrol.
In the end if the government really wanted to save the environment the government would invest far more into public transport primarily by rail and nuclear energy.
Exactly
@@stevearcher6100 WE will be energy independent again after 2024
Has nothing to do with what you just wrote. Dems and rinos hate Russia and have sold America to China. Going electric screws Russia. While at the same time helps China. China owns almost 100% of the stuff needed to make the batteries that are in electric cars.
Plus the elites have put all their money in the lithium battery market and superconductors that are made in Taiwan.
ok fine, but the reality is petrol powered cars can't be used forever. The amount of energy to pull crude from the waning reserves increases every year, and the amount is finite. The major point of what she sidesteps is the environmental impact depends on the grid that powers them. As she mentions, in countries where their power grid is most geothermal/solar/wind, it completely makes sense to have electric cars. That is the model we have to push towards, and it will take some time, but it will happen, largely out of necessity. What she is saying about the junking cost is also only partly correct, most cars when scrapped rust away in junkyards. Visit one sometime.
I like this channel but she often only leans on the negative aspects of things without offering any real solution. Again, the reality is our world as it is right now and for the foreseeable future relies on vehicles. Pushing towards a renewable based energy grid powering electric vehicles is the best option for the near and medium term future. Period. When people make money off this, its not a conspiracy, its called opportunistic capitalism, and is also with us to stay.
Gee whiz, let's hope there isn't another Carrington Event...

If you add electricity production to the emission of an EV, you also have to add petrol production to the emission of a petrol car for an honest comparison. Not just what comes out of the tailpipe. And while at it, factor in the distribution of the two as well.
Quite correct and well stated.
Also the MASSIVE amount of electricity required for an Oil refinery and the Cobolt used in the refining.
No mention of recycling specifically highly refined battery grade Lithium.
Theres actually zero emmission refineries that im pretty sure use the exhaust and reburn it to power the plant
True, but that also depends on how much renewable energy your country produces. In Germany, a good chunk of a EVs energy is from renewable/clean. In Japan, a good chunk is from nuclear. In China, it'll mostly be based on coal.
@@jasonhutchins9239 Really?, what refinery is this and where is it?
@Henri Zwols the push for EVs is a NWO agenda so there will be no more escape, you will be catalogued, monitored, tracked, databased so you are a red dot 24/7 on their radar = no more privacy, they will be able to micro-tax you now because your car will via wirless how much energy you are using or they can stop your car remotely for anything they wish etc and thus we will be under such a technocratic feudalist invisible prison unlike ever before in history, and it will be called "Freedom." We are being so beguiled.. and so many on this page prove they are not intelligent enough to discern they are being beguiled into attaching the chains to their own ankles.
Of course the headline is what will get the most traction. The half-hearted acknowledgement of the benefits in the middle of the piece does not take away from the overall purpose: to keep fossil fuel cars on the road. Saying "oh people can bike or take the train" is unrealistic for most of the US and I suspect for many places. Also, though the energy density is not as high there are already EV batteries without cobalt.
It was a good bread crumb trail though. Mining cobalt with kids bad (this is true), Cobalt used in EV batteries, therefore EV's evil. Lead them down the garden path and you select the roses you wish for them to smell. Politics 101.
Tesla is already using cobalt-free LFP batteries in half of its new cars produced. Iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which don’t use nickel or cobalt, are traditionally cheaper and safer, but they offer less energy density, which means less efficient and shorter range for electric vehicles. However, they have improved enough recently that it now makes sense to use cobalt-free batteries in lower-end and shorter-range vehicles. It also frees up the production of battery cells with other, more energy-dense chemistries to produce more longer-range vehicles.
Sorelle, please get your facts straight regarding EV's...you bend the truth to meet your narrative and omit the whole story. Shame on you 👎
Gosh this has some antiquated information on lithium ion cells sadly. Recycling these packs is big business and they are already doing it today. Next, cobalt based chemistries are on their way out. LFP is king. This has been covered so many times, I'm surprised people don't know this simple fact. Cobalt is expensive and a pain to get. That's why Tesla and others are moving away from it fast. All I use in my channel is LIFEPO4 and LTO on occasion. Not NCA or NMC.
Next, I charge my EVs from Offgrid solar. And have been for years. Why isn't this option mentioned? Why can't people use their brains and hands and build a Offgrid solar system to charge it.
Compare this to the cartel on oil and how much oil is required to keep a ICE on the road. Just the maintenance and life cycle capabilities of an EV blow the gas cars away.
Lets not forget how dirty solar is. Rare earths are not just necessary for batteries. There is also a huge issue of the non recyclable nature of the solar panels when they reach the end of their short 20 year lifespan. There won’t be enough landfill to dump them in. Same goes for wind turbines.
@@randomroses1494 The energy requirements that people use as an argument disregard the fact that you can use solar to make solar panels. Even when using coal to make them 100%, they are carbon neutral after a decade or so. Depends on the location obviously.
Take hydrocarbons out of the equation and see how much of your EV is left sitting in your driveway.
In your case, EV makes a lot of sense, but would off-grid solar be a possibility for all EV users?
Or even a significant part of them...
We're talking about a push to replace all ICE vehicles, maybe if you have a plot of land or even a house with a large enough roof (and a lot of cash on hand) you could do that.
But people in cities have neither of those luxuries. And the ideal use of an EV is in a city : higher fuel efficiency, range being less of an issue and cleaner air (locally).
This is before factoring in how many solar panels get recycled or their (current) efficiency.
Off grid solar sounds sweet, but expecting everyone in NYC, Chicago, LA, or any other city to be able to set that up is a pipe dream. Thats like asking "why doesnt everyone grow their own food, or make their own tools?" Most people simply don't have the time, resources or knowledge to incorporate something like that into their life.
Im all for alternative energy, but we need to start focusing on realistic possibilities. While solar is decent, it certainly has drawbacks. No sun equals no power. So you need batteries. Panels and batteries require rare earth minerals. Not clean.
When talking about alternative energy, why does nobody bring up nuclear? Is it simply fear?
I have explained the downside of electric cars to many of my "environmentally friendly" friends, much of what you talk about in this video, and they believe it is 100% lie. They don't want to hear it and won't even consider that electric cars could be more damaging than petroleum cars.
My solution to transportation is to keep my truck well maintained. It's an 85 Nissan pickup with 399k miles on it. It still gets 35mpg on the highway. Passes strict California emission laws with flying colors. Oh, and it is carbureted, with out a computer. Inexpensive, very practical and better for the environment. Just won't win any beauty contests.
EVs make perfect sense in cities. Even better are hybrids.
EV's are inevitable. There are no perfect answers simply better ones. and EV's are simply better. Put it this way, once the combustion engine is gone, nobody will be calling for it's return.

We always think of extremely wealthy people as being smart, but the more I see what really goes on makes me think they are just extremely evil. I have more important things to do with the electricity I can produce when the power grid goes down than charge a car.
Exactly
Always assume that you are evil and stupid first, and work on that. Painting others with these monikers distracts you from your own free will journey to being a better person.
Best we judge and rectify ourselves in black and white terms....and judge others in shades of gray.
Extremely greedy
The extremely wealthy tend to virtue signal about things they think are perceived as good because most of them got their wealth doing evil acts. It isn't so much doing the smart thing as doing the thing that they think balances out the bad they commit on a regular basis.
Wealthy people smart? No, those are your scientists, mathematicians, literally any profession that requires you to be smart. Being a capitalist is about maximising profits.
I watch this and I still didn’t get an answer about how electric cars are more dangerous the ICE Cars.

Regardless, all of the video and talking is not going to change anything, this is the redirection the world is going and you gonna leave behind. and we are all going to own an electric car when everything is settled down at the end of day. This isn’t the same thing people were saying about Apple 🍏…….
At no point did we say they’re more dangerous. Where did you get that idea? We’re just saying there are problems that aren’t frequently spoken about.
Read the title of the video. No one is making a comparison on which is better or worse.
@@wangbat2503 But they should be making that comparison. Information always needs context and a frame to compare it to. Or otherwise, the information (even factual) can be very misleading and can be used very maliciously and for bad intentions.
For example, have you heard about dihydrogen monoxide? It is also known as hydroxyl acid and is the major component of acid rain, and it contributes to the greenhouse effect. It may cause severe burns, it contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape. It accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals, it may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes. It has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
And despite the dangers, dihydrogen monoxide is often used as an industrial solvent and coolant, in nuclear power plants, in the production of Styrofoam, and as a fire retardant. It is also used in many forms of cruel animal research, and in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical. It is also used as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.
And what else? Dihydrogen monoxide is water, it's just the chemical format of plain water, H2O! This is an extreme example, but average, non-scientifically literate people are very, very easily mislead and misinformed, when the data and information is not presented properly.
Today I rode an electric motorbike to the local hardware store and made a purchase with my mobile phone, both of which were charged by solar panels. I've been doing this for free for two years now. No going back to petrol for me.
That motorbike, phone and charger, those have any synthetics or plastic? Where do you think that comes from. Forget about fossil fuels as fuel, look up everything that is made from oil. Ready to give all that up?
Yes that works if you live in a 15 minute city in Florida. Try using your electric motor bike to drive 25km into Kapuskasing, Ontario, in February in -25 degree Celsius weather! Add a 15 km wind with blowing snow into the mix just for fun!

The best type of vehicle for the environment is keeping your existing vehicle PROPERLY maintained . Resist buying a new car to keep up with status and repair the car you currently own.
AMEN! SENSE!
Then the c**ts catch you by taxing you off the road ie that dirty little s**t Sadist Khan in londonistan is pushing older cars off the road by low emission zones and congestion charges - they have you by the bollox ffs

Let's just ignore the fact that cobalt is used by each one of us, basically all day long in our phones battery for example and stick the face of Elon musk cuz it gets more attention, I wonder why this episode wasn't about cobalt rather than about electric cars.
Because electric cars are being PUSHED into every home and this needs stopped. I NEVER wanted a smart phone, it was PUSHED on me and I need it for work. If people buy into this it's game over... Everyone will be broke in a few years, it has NO longevity.
one term defeats that entire narrative:
4680 tesla lithium cell.
NO COBALT.
15% higher power density. (lbs. per kwh)
50% lower battery pack price.
10x higher production speed
10x smaller factory foot print
battery life- 50 years or 3.5 million miles.
or? all giga-factories have now become- TERAFACTORIES.
you heard right- one terawatt of battery production, per year, now possible.
the ice slayer has arrived- and it's a tesla.
The oil industry doesn't want you to know that a lot of cobalt is used in the removal of sulfides in petrol and diesel
Uhm,
Because your phone battery weighs 80 grams, whereas an electric vehicle's battery pack weighs 1,500 000 grams.
Let's just ignore this fact.
half of Tesla’s vehicles produced last quarter are already using cobalt-free iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries.
You may make a video on the whole truth of cobalt. This element is also used as a catalyst in refineries of crude oil for example. A next fact is the cobalt is used less and less in batteries with the goal of eliminating it completely.
Than the problem is not using the cobalt in batteries, but the companies running the mines. This is the same for coffee, cacao, thee, textiles, clothing and many other products.
The solution is not in buying an electric car or not. It's in changing our whole society, which is unfortunately an utopia. But hopefully with 'little" steps we can improve the world....
lol she is lying and spreading FUD. You think she's doing this for anything except clickbait? All LFP batteries don't use cobalt, and all the popular models of Tesla haven't used cobalt in a long time.

Everything we do as humans creates carbon emissions whether it be building a timber house or eating a banana.
As humans we must focus on the least damaging option. For me... that is driving aTesla Model Y some 50km per day instead of a BMW 5-series !
Remember an electric car is good for 700,000 km and battery packs can be replaced in under 5 hours.
Teslas were popping up everywhere in Norway in 2015. I never have figured out why so many otherwise intelligent people thought it was ok to have massive subsidies on what were, effectively, toys for rich people. If I remember correctly, the government paid a third of the price of the car, they could drive in the taxi/hov lanes and they could ride for free on the ferries. That kind of giveaway could start a war in less agreeable places.
Yep. That's the perfect example of how everything associated with the "green" movement works.
I suppose because most of them don't know about electricity or electronics and follow what the publicity says. Marketing and the media are truly dangerous brainwashers in this world society.
a tax credit? I say EXCELLENT. that doesn't GIVE you any money. it only allows you to KEEP the money that was.. after all- yours to begin with.
and as for 'starting wars'... we already did that for oil in the middle east- been doing it for the last.. .100 years? ever since oil was found over there.
That’s how they recruit the cronies that don’t agree issues should solved before rolling out bills and laws demanding companies to only make their “climate approved vehicles” for us to drive when they’re destroying it to make them.
So how do you feel about millions of taxpayers - many of whom may not even own a car - providing the funding to subsidise the oil industry on a yearly basis? Any comments?
The cobalt mining situation is despicable. So much for protecting humans! The eclectic car industry should pay for equipment and PPE for people for their safety. So much for the millions of humanitarian aid we give away to non elected organisations that never show where the money went and what for!
You do know that LFP batteries have no cobalt or Nikel, that Sodium batteries coming online even don't have lithium??? Easy to make hit piece on tech that is only at its beginning. But guess what Europe and Asia is burning and historic drought. Other places
Will then the petrol engine industry pay retroactively for all the victims of oil related wars? Paying for the distruction of the Planet due to digging, environmental damages in the oceans due to oil spills. Paying the damages related to PM10 pollution in urban areas? They just did this the last 150years nevertheless you place your ass in that car every single day and now you rant idiocies here.
There's cobalt in your laptop and cell phone battery.
And cobalt in the petrol/gasoline used by every ICE car in the world....
Oh? And it's so much different than the worst of the global oil industry?
Aside from all of this FUD, I see you neglected to mention the oil spills that pollute our oceans and destroy aquatic life...
AZ now has a heavy metal recycling facility that reclaims the aluminum, gold lithium, cobalt and more. However, this doesn't undo the environmental and human damage done in the batteries' creation.
When I worked for Vestas Blades America Inc., we claimed to recycle 76% of the waste we produced. Well, that was up to factory personnel, which most, over 95% of the factory workers DID NOT RECYCLE THE WASTE we claimed to recycle. People were too lazy to seperate it, and simply dumped it in with the trash in our factories. And what is done with the waste from Turbines & Blades hit by hurricanes? They take over 10,000 and some materials over 100,000 years to decompose. SO! IS IT "GREEN" IN REALITY??? NO! No it's not a "Green Industry."
Now, Solar Panels are just as bad and worse, the materials cannot be recycled, and take thousands of years to break down. IT'S ALL A HUGE LIE!
I worked for Vestas In Pueblo painting the towers when they first opened.
If no one buy these products, the inventors wouldn't have any reasons of improving them.
Makes you wonder why they lie. It can't just be to make money because why don't they just expand current forms of technology rather than try to force inadequate technologies on people. This plus "greenwashing", seems clear to me this focus of this is to fundamentally change people and their behaviors for some other type of gain. Who gave anyone that right.
Nonsense. All recyclable, not decomposable. get a clue!
you don’t work for vestas. you work for shell oil…. which is why you’re in here shilling for shell. sounds like renewables have you oil heads throwing quite the fit. let me help you with that- NO ONE BUYS YOUR BS ANYMORE. your products are over priced- and the current price manipulation is just more proof of that. and YOU? pointing fingers at ANYONE while using the phrase “not green”? is the very DEFINITION of hypocrisy- *oil tanker spills in the ocean
It's not a scam.
It's new technology that will only get better as time goes on.
The only reason we are having all the new battery breakthrus are probably cuz of the emergence of EVs and Green energy.
Batteries were considered enough and barely worth iterating on because they had enough juice to last for 1-2 days in our phones and we were content with that.
Now batteries are getting better and better, new concepts are emerging.
If we get to a point where we can store a fuckton of solar etc.. EVs will still not be zero emission however... they will be a fuckton lot better than any fossil fuel car.
It just takes time.
We also can't depend on fossil fuels... they are bound to run out quite soon. And then our next alternative will be fossil fuels made by humans, which is currently expensive but guess what? it will be worth it once we ran out of alternatives. and as techniques get better prices would fall to make profit on scale.
Also if anything cars are a scam not by design.
The repair shops will do stuff to your car to see you as often as they can. The car manufacturers will design stuff to break instead of making things last as long as they can..
For many things the problem starts with humans and their greed. They will do anything to make money.
Life sucks that way..
Great video explaining the parts she got wrong.

Most of retired batteries are used as stationary storage for renewables.
My city is bringing in a 'clean air' system where certain cars have to pay a daily fee to access the center of town. But they aren't categorising cars by how 'dirty' they are, they are basing it on how old they are. So my 2013 petrol car which is small & extremely efficient is classed as 'dirty' whereas my boyfriend's huge diesel van is classed as 'clean'.
Every car I've had has been old, I drive them efficiently & maintain & repair them until the end of their life. This is far more 'clean' than supporting the production of new cars - the manufacture of which causes massive energy use.
This is incredibly corrupt & is clearly designed to push people into buying new cars. Graaaggh!
There are a lot more options and they need to be explored more than they are now. The trend/hype trains never last. I’d rather drive petrol powered cars than an EV. Besides, battery tech just isn’t there yet as these manufacturers are still using petrol powered machines to mine, transport, and manufacture these EV’s. The car itself might be more green but everything around it isn’t.
The market forces are clear, this is not a hype. This is the next revolution, people went from horses to ICE and now from ICE to EVs, just like they went from landline phones to cell phones to smartphones.
We are already way past the tipping point, Norway is leading the race at 85% new battery vehicles, already the gas infrastructure is being dismantled over there. :)
Why do you guys speak such utter nonsense? Have you not seen the Nigerian delta?
So you rather have the air quality in cities be terrible and people dying from that then loose your trusty fossil fuel car?
Don't get me wrong people should be treated like humans anywhere in the world.
But this tech started and the market always has to catch up with demand and thus this cobalt bs starts.
But cobaltless batteries are being worked on and even solid state batteries are already prototyping.
So i rather help starting the EV rise and already help clear the air then wait on my ass for companies to not do anything as people don't want it.
Camless engines can get 100 MPG.
Unlocking electricity is the key to EVERYTHING! Nikola Tesla knew this over 100 years ago.
I like the part where e-waste like phones, computers, tablets and other devices with batteries is a massive enviromental problem but producing vehicles with huge batteries that last ~10 years is somehow acceptable.
The push for EVs and electrification feels like the Diesel "revolution". Which was presented as the next big thing, a better, more effective way to use dinosaur juice. That went well.
Sadly it appears the electric engine won the cultural battle and has become the "politically correct" alternative, while gas powered cars and its drivers will be demonized. Hopefully it's a transitional technology towards something better like Hidrogen power or synthetic fuels like the ones under development by Porsche and Mobil.
As it stands, it's either air pollution or water pollution from lithium and cobalt mining. Quite literally, choose your poison.
you just bypassed the engineer's drawings & went straight for the clowns & magician's tent. it's got NOTHING to do with pollution or social justice- leave all that to the marxists & sjw's. I like diesel engines. I like toyotas with any kind of engine- but what I DON'T like... is $5 a gallon for gas... and politicians with oil giants- playing the blame game on stage- then a55 grabbing & laughing it off behind camera like it's WWE fight night & us poor consumer suckers bought tickets to "the big show".
if big oil has some deals to offer? I'm listening. so far? all I see is more BS and higher gas prices. and this isn't the FIRST TIME they've pulled this BS. remember the 'oil shortage' of 1970's? I DO. worked out good for the oil giants- until someone with a camera caught them hording petroleum supply just so the price would go up. hey- good for them. they got rich. I'm all for that. the downside for them is- eventually- someone harder working.. smarter.. and HUNGRIER is going to call you on your BS & steal your customers away.
diesel did go well.. .right up to the point where big oil & the epa teamed up to add dpf's to them & raised the price of diesel fuel.
200 lithium mine.. 1.2 million oil wells. Cobalt mining for all western ev manufacturers is ethical. This video is just clickbait FUD and she should be ashamed of herself she’s done no research and just parroting another conspiracy Nut.
Thing is: the pollution stays with the poor people working on those mines, and the rich cities/people using them don't have to breathe pollution on the cities. That's it.
no demonization of gasoline- in fact- we've got some JUST FOR YOU right here in the bay area of CA for $6 a gallon. you should bring ALL your vehicles right over & fill up- it's JUST what you need. and if THAT makes you feel LESS 'persecuted'... have some natural gas for you car- it burns really clean- so you can brag about it to elon. oh- BUT- we converted ALL OF it to hydrogen (that's how h2 is made... OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT?) and NOW it costs $7 a gallon- also the car lasts 1/2 as long as a tesla it has THE SAME lithium battery & fuel a cell- replacement is $35,000. GOOD LUCK.
The thing we need the most is creating electric energy through renewable resources at a mass level. If this problem gets solved every other thing will eventually fall into place.
I think the age of smaller/mini ,self running nuclear power plants is coming. There are already very convincing studies and applications performed . One of these small plants would generate all the needed power for 1000s of households, with no maintenance require for a decade or more.
It was already done by countless good willed inventors in the 20th century who were either killed and defamed.
To replace the average saloon electric car battery in the U.K. is £8,870.00 British pounds sterling, then the cost of removal and replacement, which can bring the cost to over £10,000. GBP. Oh and you will be charged for the safe disposal of this dangerous toxic element......someone in government needs to tell it how it is. These costs can be looked up and found on line.
I believe they're also using 'planned obsolescence' to sell more cars than would be necessary. They need to make cars that you can drive for at least 50 years before needing to buy a new one.
Telsa are selling used cars now for higher prices then new, because they are lasting sooo long. They aren’t even losing value.
Exactly.
It will be like your smartphone when it gets past its warranty or contract the manufacturer will send a download to the cars software to make the car be less efficient or have many software glitches so the owner gets frustrated and trades it in for the newer model. The old car may get sold second hand but I doubt it as it would require a new battery pack as the old one will be on its way out and the dealership would probably find it more profitable to "responsibly" recycle the car like they do with any other electronics.
Just saying they should do it sounds great but do you actually appreciate the engineering necessary to make a car run for 10 years let alone 50? Do you understand powertrains - gas, diesel or electric? Especially when the free market dictates what is sold. People want the latest technology. How would you retro fit a car from the early seventies with modern electronics? How would you update that styling? The safety features? People care about that as well. Finally, people want a competitive price. How much would it cost to make a car last that long? Deloreans were stainless steel and quite expensive because of it. To make the rest of the car last that long would lead to astronomical prices.
@@nappingnomads thats because new cars can't be easily purchased at the moment due to lack of components. All used cars have increased in price and car dealers have actually been buying cars back of fleet hire companies to sell to private buyers. Most people who have purchased a new car are on waiting lists that may be months or years away in timescale and they may not get the all singing, all dancing spec they paid for either.
Sounds like a lot of greenwashing to me.
Brainwashing - whitewashing and now! Greenwashing too ?! 😬
Lots of -washing in general.
@@Abundantiaco Hahaha love this comment 🤣 gotta keep them lies clean lol 🧼

Sounds like TeslaQ to me.
“yOu CaNt ReCyClE BaTtErIeS” ….. then proceeds to show b roll video of a battery recycling facility 🤡
Only a tiny percentage of EV batteries are currently recycled.
Thats not what you said.. you said " almost every part of a gas powered car can be recycled. This is not the case with EVs" that statement is completely false. EVbatteries are 97% recyclable and the rest of the car is just as recyclable as a gas car. Also the 100,000 mile figure you stated is also incorrect. Do some more research before pretending to know what you are on about.
She’s so far from factual… current battery tech is capable of over 500,000 miles or more … but yeah let’s use the lifetime of a gas car
@@Abundantiaco That's because most EV batteries ever produced are still in use. Why recycle batteries when you can simply use them? C'mon Sorelle.
@@Abundantiaco only a tiny percentage of batteries are being recycled because almost no batteries are being discarded. The biggest recycler Redwood has states their biggest challenge is actually procuring batteries to recycle. Most are being re used as stationary storage where their capacity loss as an EV is not so important. And of course they would be repurposed instead of discarded. Anyone throwing away a $20,000 ev battery pack into a landfill instead of finding another use for it or recycling would have to be insane. That’s throwing money away.
This is so ridiculous we keep going over and over this I cannot believe people still fall for this
i’ve been an environmental driller AND tested tank & line systems since before it was regulated in the
80’s. we dealt with most of the high profile jobs, pipeline failures,
military bases,major refineries etc. i’ve seen the worst of the worst environmental catastrophe’s.
all this “going green” stuff is totally political!
we could & should be energy independent. yes
pipelines have occasional leaks
but i’ve been to far more transport rollovers( usually carry about 9k in fuel & lose it all in a rollover)train transport derails
etc. US does environmental very well i’ll never understand why we buy fuel from countries that have little or no concern for the environment !!
what a scam & a tragedy.
Love this insight
Having done a fair bit of research in to the recyclability of EV batteries, I can't agree with your statement that they're not built for recycling. The plan is to make the EV battery industry self sufficient in component materials through recycling. Further, there was no mention of the significant efforts to remove cobalt from the battery chemistry. The widespread use of LFP batteries obviates the need for any cobalt in them - BYD uses LFP exclusively in its vehicles and Tesla is using it in about 52% of its vehicles. LFP batteries also last much longer than NMC/NMCA batteries - estimated to last for about 1M km. So they'll probably outlast the car!
Agreed that it takes around 60,000km for an EV to "work off" it's production carbon cost.
Remember, many EV owners charge at home where they use the power from their solar system.
thanks for your comment!
Did u know that making petrol utilizes 11% of worlds energy ? So ICE car emissions are even worse if you include the cost of making petrol.
Plus EV's can be and ARE recycled.
Do your homework.
Interesting how celebrities and politicians are pushing e-vehicles while being driven around in armored gas vehicles.
The thought that sends chills down my spine is once cars ect. have all gone electric, how long will it take before your car says "This is not an approved destination"? Then what?
@Slavery is Freedom, War is Peace over long distances? really? public transport is only worse in terms of control lol
It wouldn't be an issue if you could load custom firmware to your car. Program it yourself, take complete control. But.... that's already illegal.
Yeah. It's about control.
There's this darker side to the thing too, well pointed out. "The internet of things (and humans)"
There's no difference between a gaz motored car at that point. Today's cars are all electronically controlled the same an EV is. Only older gas motored cars don't need to mechanically rely on their computers.
People have been dumbed down, we've all entered a maze except there's no exit and it's a trap. I've already seen people panic when they could pay with debit for a coupkle of days. Internet giant, Rogers had a glitch for a couple of days.
I have no problem with EV's being an option, but I am absolutely against the idea of banning gas-powered vehicles as a means to force EV's into becoming the standard, especially when the technology isn't there yet. I also detest that environmentalists and EV manufacturers champion that EV's are so much better because there's no exhaust, but completely ignore all the other damage that's done in the process to make them. I'm glad more people are waking up to the BS, but unfortunately, I feel like it might be too late to stop the forced standardization of EV's.
👍
The bans are in place mostly to get the auto industry moving. New ICE cars in 2030 will be about as viable on the market as old Nokia phones were in 2015. Regardless, it's still too late and a lot of car brands are dead brands walking already - though I expect some will receive government bailouts. IF the governments can afford to do that.
Any legacy auto not producing at least a million EVs by 2025 are dead. Among the brands/concerns all but guaranteed to die are GM, Stellantis, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Honda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Renault.
The maybes of the old guard are VW, Ford, Volvo and Hyundai. Tesla and lots of unknown brands from China, like BYD, MG and XPeng will come at the legacy auto car makers like a pack of hungry wolves, and it's not going to be pretty.
The sooner the car industry stops with the ostrich tactics and start to face the problem, the better.
It is strategic
America and its allies need to fight a big war in the next 5-20 years. If America looses the reserve currency the world tips. EVs are about having fuel left over to fight wars in the future. War is fought on oil not batteries
Portable dense energy that is easy to choke off and impossible to fuel and feed militaries without
It's very polluting to manufacture those kilowatts from fossil fuels and atomic energy and the battery's suck, they don't go far even if they say they do.. and for motorcycles that battery is to heavy also. Those lithium mines too .. yikes. Those batterys explode btw. An 8 cylinder is better for environment actually. Maybe this was said tho, tbh I just started video
In New Zealand the goverment impose heavy tax on diessel motor utes, cars, trucks so that tax take can be given to encourage the battery car crew!! I have been told to fully charge a low batt tesla uses enough power as the average house in Howick, so if every house in Howick had a tesla the power supply to just this one suburb of Auckland would double.
To Double power supply overnight is crazy.
That cost would clearly be imposed on the battery clan you would think!!!
Yeah right!!!
The costs would be every ones if you didnt want power outages.
At what point in this video were you 'impartial'?
The entire rational is being undercut by the fact that in the last 24 years the globe has not warmed and in the last two years it has cooled a bit. 1,200 scientists around the globe have just signed a joint statement that we are not in a climate warming crisis. If it's about pollution it's not wise to knowingly add something for which there is no solution to as of yet for disposal. It's incredible technology that needs more work in several key areas.
The wrap-up says it all: we can't keep living the way we are living and keep living. Less traveling, more bicycling, smaller houses, more local food, fewer conveniences. How likely that people will embrace this idea? Not very. If humanity was a stock I'd be short selling.
"If humanity was a stock I'd be short selling." Haha... very poetic! For me though, I have faith in our species. We just need more people to wake up.
"we can't keep living the way we are living and keep living."
and this is based on what? news articles you've read that claim to have scientifically valid conclusions?
Do you really want a smaller house if you can easily afford an average sized house? Most people buy smaller due to money
Also, idk about you but I don’t want to ride a bicycle to get groceries
Many things are not easy to ride a bike to, it’s easy to say we should do it but hard to actually implement
Some things can be done remotely, like college, other things can’t be done remotely
not realistic
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

And this video is basically a lie lol
Sorelle is a liar and hypocrite.
@@CYCLEGAMER1 came here to make that same comment. proof: ruclips.net/video/uH-clPCutyc/видео.html
Shall we stop using battery powered phones, tools plus electricity in our homes and go all out gas/petrol??? Gas/petrol powered TVs? Etc? Why single out EVs only?
We haven’t singled out EVs only. If you checked out other videos, you’d know that we’ve made a video on the damage done by the cell phone industry (Apple in particular), and have also made multiple videos on the oil and gas industry.
Sadly we have a lazy and soggy PM in Australia who has allowed the Greens' to make his policy on this.
I've got a 2010 car that Ive been taking as much car with as possible. Once it becomes more common I want to convert it to electric. One of the things I really don't like about Tesla is how expensive it is to get something like a body panel replaced. Meanwhile, my current car, a mitsubishi lancer, there is a warehouse 30 miles from my house and depending on the panel, takes a quick drive or they can have the part for pickup in a few days.
Every single time you start your vehicle, you slowly poison yourself, your family, your friends and your neighbors. It's not sunshine and rainbows that come out the tailpipe. It's toxic gases, Volatile compounds and other very bad things. There's a reason that ICE vehicles are being banned and it's NOT just CO2.
On public transportation, it's great. Except for in the US. I'd love to see a video on the car industry itself. Why we still use dealerships, and why we chose to build more roads and less trains and cycling lanes.
I'm not a fan public transportation. Corrupt unions build bridges to nowhere while corrupt politicians get reelected due to supporting said unions and besides local and state government leveraged vax passports if you want to ride the bus or subway in some areas. That's a dangerous precedent to set. Of course public transportation had obvious pluses in cities or suburbs.
Money. My town is run by concrete/asphalt and construction companies
What's wrong with dealerships? Also where I live, greater Toronto Area, the city is basically ignoring roads and building a lot of public transit and bicycle lanes. They are ignoring the fact that in the last 20 years there a lot more cars but no significant increase in roads.
Public transportation sucks❗️
Car lobby is too strong. At least here in Germany.
Good thing tesla isn’t using cobalt anymore in their new 4680 batteries packs.
They don’t mention that green is not green if you take in all the damage to the environment,wildlife , and carbon production needed to produce the “green” electricity, vehicles…….nothing grows on trees including “green”……and don’t forget once they have everyone mandated to use electric cars ….along come the mileage tax + ……to make up for lost tax revenue on gasoline, and then a recycle tax on the batteries…….
Cobalt is used in lithium ion batteries. Other alternatives are lithium iron phosphate or sodium ion batteries.
The electric motor has 1 moving part. If you think nothing is wrong with the current system, then you just need to go to a city and breathe. The problem with current transportation is the cars and the people exist in the same space and cars emit poison. Energy storage is evolving, it is not what we do, it is how we do it. Electric vehicles are viable and necessary. I`m all for `fossil fuels` if used in the right context and location.
Non of these problems are specifically electric car problems. Choosing electric car, stove or heater etc. for new stuff is beneficial even today but most importantly in the long run because it is contributing to solving one major part of the emmisions problem. We always want new and better stuff. So, a Tesla owner can brag about being environmentally friendly because they could've bought a fossil sports car instead.
25% of the whole ev industry uses cobalt, Tesla are phasing it out..The petroleum industry is one of the largest users of cobalt for refining and aren’t phasing it out
My second cousins had to escape to Kinshasa to stay with my Grandparents permanantly because my Mom's tribal farm and the house turned into an "Artisanal" mine(With no compensation might I add). Also, the organized guerrillas or crime groups nearly made them into slave miners. I thank God they escaped, but it makes my blood boil even more when the government is allowing this(even though it was expected) because they gain huge incentives for their own and their bureaucracy. I'm aiming to build my own territory and system from my company once I branch out from South Africa. I know it's hearsay and a pipedream, but when hearing the cries of your blood from a different nation and the cries of others who face the same thing as well other injustices(plus it is very hard for them to move forward in that environment), and at the same time knowing that there are other simple, yet robust alternatives to increase the standard of living and productivity from DRC's institutions, you may come up with crazy ideas to follow through.

Hopefully, if you are reading this, I would like to post my progress here from time to time to show my advancement toward the vision. Again, a pipedream, but at least I can do something to make that it into a reality.
The benefit of resources going into electric vehicles is that new methods of energy production will be prioritized and optimized to make the industry more efficient. These are just the beginning days of the industry and hopefully the focus goes in the right direction.
Really ? Like what , shutting down hydro dams, decommisioning and not building new nuclear plants? How far are we from sustainable fusion reactors? Alot of towns cant even keep thier streets paved , how old are thier powerlines and substations. No offense , good optimism but for the vast majority of people forcing EV's too soon is a bad bad idea. 2035? A pipe dream. One day maybe well mine the moon for fuel for reactors . Id say 30yrs or so at current advancment. Your going to need a space elevator , fusion reactors running off new nuclear plants and a completely new grid for the entire united states to feed that many cars. Problem bieng ....not enough money to fund that . Or ....buy solar panels and a tesla wall. Then rent a gasoline powered car or fly if you actually want to idk go on vacation? This is political , and thier well aware and dont care what happens to you or me. Or the old lady that dies when her air conditioner wont turn on because the idiots on her street were forced to buy an EV and the substation is down for weeks .
Ya right. Lol.
The governments continue to act and lie in the intetest of the rich getting richer like they always have.
You're too optimistic....the industry being more efficient means they will get craftier at taking money.
I mean fusion energy is just right around the corner right! (20 years later...)
Yes sure and the entrance to Narnia it's just inside the wardrobe 🤦
