Strip mining, deforestation, heavy DIESEL equipment and extreme COAL processing, heavy metal contamination, air pollution, unchecked child and persecuted, forced slave labor.
WOW! That’s a lot of bad stuff. I wonder how it compares to manufacturing an internal combustion vehicle which uses many of the same components like metal doors, windshields, plastic, semiconductors, copper, etc. Without the benefit of a more efficient electric motor that requires less power to deliver the same horsepower. A gas powered vehicle also needs constant, repeated consumption of oil drilled and shipped, drilled and shipped for the entire lifetime of the car.
Or do you drive an earth car you've designed and constructed yourself from milled Hamakua Coast eucalyptus boards, tires naturally sourced at the old rubber plantation in Nahiku, Maui, and a team of large dogs pulling you toward your destination?
