This isn't just a problem with EV's either. Green energy like Solar and Wind require massive batteries to collect and store the energy harvested, and are overall no better than most fossil fuel energy profuctions.<br>Also, we have batteries in everything these days. Wireless headphones having nearly completely replaced wired has been vastly worse for the environment, yet every phone company that pushed the trend scream about how much they care about the environment.,(reply>), Here I thought I was being a curmudgeonly luddite, turns out I was accidentally environmentally friendly(er).,(reply>), I love dropping the wire from my headset. No one really believes they care about the environment, they only care about money, like any business should,(reply>), Solar and wind can at least make use of hydro-electric storage. Batteries are not really the issue for those two examples.
