Topic of recyling EV batteries.
Once again it is good to see that the MSM is starting to educate the public >about the situation.
(There is some Chinese on the page but does not affect the English part)
This makes me a little angry. This issue was foretold at least a decade ago, you myself and many others have done what we can to alert others to this.
It aint going away and there is no solution yet. The headlong drive to EVs was about greed and political ideology, not common sense and definitely not science.
I don't blame ev purchasers, they are no more aware of this problem than the rest of the world.
I do blame politicians (who had every opportunity to understand), manufacturers for their greed, and ideologically driven fools who thought that EVs would solve the mythical climate emergency, they just didn't want to know. The MSM are culpable too, they start to talk about it when and only when they have little option, not before. But that is no surprise, the days of real journalists are long gone.
This aint going away.
