Company that mines nickel for 'green' electric cars destroys forest in doing so. Ironic
plenty of nickel used to come from Russia but nyet anymore.
Ah yes. Nickel is only used for electric cars. Right. Gotcha.
Ah yes. This is how the company apparently justifies it. Right in the article.
Marketing: We need to defend this - what's something people are really excited about?
Engineer: Stainless steel; you can't make a good stainless without nickel
Salesman: Oooh - I know! How about nickels? Everybody loves nickels and their worth 5 cents each!
Engineer:
Marketing:
Intern: You know, they use nickel in battery packs for electric cars
Marketing: Oh, right - everybody likes electric cars. Green and vroom-vroom, I love it!
Engineer: You know that electric cars don't go vroom-vroom, right?
Marketing: I'm going with electric cars, it's a feel-good use people will get behind.
There's no sensible argument for the continuation of gasoline cars. Spills are much worse to the environment and the constant dumping of CO2 is literally causing millions of acres to burn.
Fuck off
You can be mad at both, that was always allowed
NO! I must side with my political party on all topics! Otherwise I risk having a thought occur.
I'm against oil propaganda, it has nothing to do with any political party. Gas companies are not your friend.
Being mad at both only helps the oil barons. Maybe we can wait until we aren't setting off a new feedback loop every month before trying to make cars out of sunlight.
Resource extraction and vehicles are going to be a part of our society for a long time. I hate cars but anyone saying "green" ev vehicle with those quotes is the enemy.
