Those that think there is a battery fairy are the people of the younger generation who know nothing of technology, but are great in the liberal arts arena... It takes energy to create energy, starting with the raw materials and all the processes that are required to develop, design, build, sell, & use. Then when the batteries are no longer useable, they have to be trashed so they can not harm people animals, vegetation and more... All of which costs money... And because they voted out natural resources, like gas, coal, oil, etc., there will be no fuel for green energy... As someone once said; You can't fix stupid...

Amen Kerry, the whole world is using natural resources because their is no other options. What difference would it do for only one country, the USA to stop the production of fossil fuels, natural gas, and coal. We cannot run a whole country on battery power! We are in for a hell of a ride, for the next four years. Unemployment has tripled and the shit keeps flowing down hill. We are living in a very dangerous era in the history of this great Nation!

Here it is James, the disgusting use of child labor! Electric car demand fueling rise in child labor in DR Congo: campaigners By Nellie Peyton, Thomson Reuters Foundation DAKAR (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Demand for electric vehicles is fueling a rise in child labor in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, experts said this week, urging companies to take action as the industry expands. Cobalt is a key component in batteries for electric cars, phones and laptops, and Congo provides more than half of global supply. Tens of thousands of children as young as six dig for the toxic substance in artisanal mines in the country’s southeast, without protective clothing, rights groups say. As companies move to secure their supply of cobalt, they should also make a push to improve transparency and labor rights, said U.S.-based advocacy group Enough Project.
