Except they steal even from "friendly" countries.

"We could have been putting in solar since the 1970s but the same tools (and corrupt CEOs) opposing EVs now were opposing solar power then." If it paid off, people certainly would have. "You know what else uses fossil fuels? ICEVs. " Thanks Capt. Obvious. And burning them fossil fuels where the energy is used eliminates the energy loss of transmission as you have with Electric Cars. You think you are smart, but failed to even mention that significant inefficiency. The case is made by the experts - the railroads. They use electric trucks on the trains for sure, but charge them with diesel fuel. If they thought all-electric was cheaper/more efficient on the whole they would have done that the same as when they switched from steam engines. "Even when charged from COAL, an EV has lower lifetime emissions than an ICEV, because of the immensely greater efficiency." So you haven't convinced me that electric cars are any better or do anything other than move pollution to the poor neighborhood. But your condescending attitude reveals you could care less about the poor or reality so off you go in your Tesla. The fact that you need coal to make and charge EV means that you still rely on fossil fuels and don't have a complete solution. Call me back when you have an EV that uses no fossil fuels whatsoever. If that was the more efficient way, it would be the cheaper way and no force would be needed to adopt it. "The batteries coming out literally right now do not use cobalt." Many do in fact use cobalt, and the point stands that it adds a geo-strategic layer no matter what elements it requires. "We already know how to recycle lithium batteries. " Knowing how is different than doing it. The efficiencies usually dictate what happens and if landfill is the cheaper way, that is where they will go.

The US continues to work with the Saudis to slaughter Yemenis by the hundreds of thousands. Did we forget them? And the Ukrainians shelling their own people for the last seven years, those dead women and children don't matter. And the US illegally putting its military in Syria. Any special archive for that? And of course, US DoD and NIH/NIAID mad scientist just assaulted the entire world the last year with their bioweapon release. But I think we have already forgotten that. In fact you are banned for knowing it in the first place. Sure, condemn Russian actions, but at least have a thin veil of even handedness in the remembrance of the powers behind these conflicts. It isn't just Russia. In fact it's hardly ever Russia.

Ukraine overthrow in 2014? Libya decapitation (with HRC laughing about it), Syria bombardment and occupation. Illegal Iraq invasion of WMD lie. Maybe if American citizens recognized the brutality of its own government we could work to end that and then have moral standing to complain about the rest of the world.

But yesterday's news was that NVIDIA (illegally?) hacked the hackers back and encrypted all their files? I guess that story was BS (and it sounded like it) or the hackers made a backup copy (which NVIDIA would have been ignorant not to assume).

Electric cars are not a new energy source. They require fossil fuels to manufacture. They use fossil fuels when they use electricity. They require an additional global geo-political layer for strategic minerals like cobalt. And they leave a huge environmental cleanup problem. So what are electric cars good for? Moving pollution from the cities where the wealthy live to the poorer rural areas where power plants and battery dumps are located.
