Interesting, I felt like this was a recursive joke. Show the mine for nearly all the worlds production of lithium and then show a oil sands derrick which can&#x27;t provide enough gas and oil for the cars in the state of Maine. Not that mining for Lithium could be done &quot;better&quot; but that the article was a poorly articulated argument for how electric cars are either &#x27;as bad&#x27; or &#x27;worse&#x27; than petrol cars.
