Okay cobalt isn't a major concern for EVs anymore as there are now lithium batteries that use next to no cobalt or literally none at all. Nickle and mangenese has been being used more often when switching for cobalt. Also let's be serious here, even if these batteries do make these destructive results, it's not like gas and oil have been great for this either. We've literally already had the gigantic oil leaks and literally just leak methane into the atmosphere. <br><br>Let's be serious here, no it's not clean energy, it's still a car and cars are wasteful by nature. If we wanted it to be clean we'd be moving more towards smaller vehicles, trains, or just electric bikes and motorcycles.,(reply>), No no, you don't understand, gas and oil vehicles don't have any costs to build and don't contain batteries. And the cracked oil is teleported directly into the tank.
