Are Electric Cars Really Better for the Environment?

Carmakers are retooling to make electric vehicles.

Are EVs really better for the environment, though?

The environmental cost of a car includes both building it and fueling it. That means factoring in "emissions" associated with oil drilling and power plant smokestacks, as well as from mining metals such as nickel and cobalt that are needed for electric-car batteries.

Building both a Tesla Model 3 and a Toyota RAV4 generates several tons of "greenhouse gas emissions" to smelt the aluminum, manufacture the components and assemble the vehicle.

Building a Tesla actually generates more "emissions" because of the metals needed for its lithium-ion battery.

Before it rolls off the assembly line, the Tesla has generated 65% more "emissions" than the RAV4.

Got a Tesla? Forget to charge it up? It goes here because you now own a brick.


Watch this company's videos and you'll never buy one of Musk's POS cars.

Where to store spent batteries will be a bigger problem than where to store spent uranium and plutonium fuel rods.

The Wall Street Journal enlisted the help of researchers at the University of Toronto to examine this question.

They began by comparing the environmental impact of two popular cars that are best sellers in their categories: a midsize sedan that runs on electricity and a compact SUV that uses gasoline.

Building both a Tesla Model 3 and a Toyota RAV4 generates several tons of "greenhouse gas emissions" to smelt the aluminum, manufacture the components and assemble the vehicle.

But building a Tesla actually generates more "emissions" because of the metals needed for its lithium-ion battery.

Before it rolls off the assembly line, the Tesla has generated 65% more "emissions" than the RAV4.

At 20,600 miles, the "greenhouse gas emissions" from building and driving the two cars are roughly the same, according to the University of Toronto analysis.

They still go into paroxysms of hate over Reagan, and he's been dead since 2004.

It doesn't take them long to try to make every thread about the OP poster or Trump, does it?

Sad, isn't it? But look on the bright side - many of them abort their kids before they can be born, and many of the rest are homosexuals who cannot spawn children upon who they inflict their sick beliefs, unless they adopt..

Good points. Unfortunately the men with penises in dresses and the homosexuals teach in elementary schools and universities.

They do, but many of the children they molest in elementary schools will grow up to be homosexuals or end up killing themselves with alcohol and/or drugs because of the shame they feel, and leftist indoctrination centers known as "universities" will simply produce more homosexuals and abortion practitioners. Their genes and their warped worldview will be limited in impact. Demographics are against them.

I don't give a fuck what a dipshit leftist like you thinks about anything let alone me. You fucking morons have no ability to be rational and therefore are not worthy of being treated like humans.
