What the parliamentarians didn’t mention: The world cannot mine and refine the vast amounts of minerals that go into batteries-lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, palladium, and others-at anywhere close to the scale for this rapid transition to electric vehicles (EVs) to occur. If approved by the European Union, the move would revolutionize the world’s third-largest auto market after China and the United States-and hasten the global transformation of the entire automotive industry to battery technology. In June 2022, the European Parliament voted to effectively outlaw the sale of new cars using gasoline or diesel by 2035. These mines often collapse & trapped workers are dug out by hand, if they are lucky.
CONGO - unregulated mines employ thousands of workers, mining cobalt for batteries, so NET ZERO can be ‘achieved’ & we feel good.
