[quote=AN][quote=ocrenter]Everyone is anti-crony capitalism. So propose a way to make the fight a fair fight and we are all good. And that includes finding a way to prevent the Koch brothers from launching their multi-million attack on EVs.
As for battery recycling, the tech for lithium recycling is here and present, it is doable.[/quote]1st step would be, not help creating the next “Big Oil” and expand even more crony capitalism.
If you really hate oil, you should be encouraging fracking and have natural gas replace coal and also support Fuel Cell to use that natural gas to generate electricity. I think between just those two things will make a much bigger dent on CO2 than BEV ever can.
I don’t think a quantity and time limited consumer centric incentive will recreate the Big Oil monster. And what is your proposal on how to fight people like the Koch brothers pledging and planning millions of dollars to fight alternative energy source?
Lithium mining will likely keep up with demand, if it doesn’t, then like you mentioned, market forces will work that out.
