I think all you folks who like coal should move into these small towns and experience the destruction this does to the environment and those that mine the coal. Maybe some of you might like a career change and become a coal mineral

Yes, those who get coal mine lung. You could be working in a Refinery and die of hydrogen sulfide. My wife worked on oil tanks up here in Canada and people would drop dead trying to help someone else who passed out because hydrogen sulfide displaces oxygen and kills them. You could also say the same thing for those who dig up Rare Earth minerals child labor worldwide and they die of slow poisoning. Low-level toxicity is everywhere but electric cars are not perfect either. Instead we rely on wind and solar and those are not reliable especially wind.
We are relying on child labor and exploitation for those wanting to dig up Cobalt. This is from Amnesty International and this is over 6 years old so you figure with the push for electric cars by all the automakers. Look at the last Dodge Challenger is coming out in 2023 and they're going to retire the Hemi V8 engine. They're going to come out with new electric muscle cars but they're not going to do very well up here in canada. Where I live, it's often below freezing between November and March. Electric cars don't last very long in the cold especially if you have to heat the passenger compartment and heat the batteries so they don't lose their efficiency in cold weather. I have a 7-year-old Dodge Challenger with 55,000 miles on it. I have replaced the battery three times. Had this been an electric Tesla from 2015, it would require a new battery by now and that would be over 20 grand. My vehicle gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. It's a V6 with 305 horsepower. It's not as fast as a Tesla performance electric model but since we have snow 6 months out of the year, who needs performance? Watch the used car lots have all kinds of dead electric cars after the 7-year warranty is up.
I can handle spending a couple hundred bucks every 3 years buying a new battery then buying an electric car that's 20 to $30,000 more than the average car and then have to plug down another 20 to 25 Grand after 7 years? As soon as you pay off the vehicle, you have to spend almost the equivalent of the vehicle to get a replacement battery! That's insane! Also, you have to dispose of the old battery and that's toxic waste as it is!
Third world countries can use propane, diesel or gasoline and it isn't that expensive for them while they having to plug down lots of money for green energy made in China will bankrupt them and President Biden wanting to give 20 billion to Indonesia is just sheer corruption. He is dooming them to having expensive energy that is unreliable. That's why I'm letting you know that stupid that we should have carbon taxes to pay other countries reparations which is a total tax and spend scam all for the environmental Nazis that don't know their ass from the hole in the ground.

Exposed: Child labour behind smart phone and electric car batteries
Major electronics brands, including Apple, Samsung and Sony, are failing to do basic checks to ensure that cobalt mined by child labourers has not been used in their products, said Amnesty International and Afrewatch in a report published today.

LTC Stephen Conway I had to plug my gas fueled car in during the winter in Michigan and North Dakota, your point is?

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen do you know I never do this. My car can be 40 below zero and I've had no mechanical issues but I use full synthetic oil. We have engine block heaters up here too. I just use my remote start and let the car warm up before I go to work. Rubber Gavin Newsom was advising people not to plug in their cars to charge at the same time.

We sell alot of those here in Alberta as well. Not sure if it is for camping or for backup power. In Honduras, the power is unreliable and most businesses are up and running withing 5 minutes of a power outage with their own backup power generators.
