Until we die oil will be it. The key to tesla will be who controls the limited amount of lithium. Lithium isn't limitless

How many years of reliable data do we have to go on? Maybe 100. That's a speck on a gnats ass if you consider we were under a total sheet of ice 10,000 years ago. How are you going to control the volcanoes that spew more ozone damaging gasses than we have created in the past 100 years? You take extrapolation as fact and expect everyone else to as well. We ain't the bad guys here...we're making a living. Ease upView attachment 3884033
That piece of ice is as large as the state of New York. 2015 was the hottest year on record after 2012, 10 of the hottest years on record have been after 2000..
Denial - at this point - has exceeded embarrassment. We've reached the point, now, where denial of climate change must be ostracized and regarded as obstruction to human justice. I'm unwilling to let you be so stupid as to endanger my future and the future of billions of others.

Oh that is so bunk
That is so bunk! It's called fake news today. Where did you ever come up with that misinformation.

Em, what's bunk? The fact Gigawatts of solar power is being wasted heating sand?

And a lithium battery overheated and exploded catching it on fire. Don't blame the fuel blame the dumbass human

That New Mexico can supply our energy requirements with solar. Whatcha going to do at night...rely on Arizona to cover their state in batteries? Remember solar is only as good as the batteries it charges

Hey I agree 100%. Oil is not the future but it is the present and will be for our lifetime. No doubt it will get phased out for the most part but not until our technology catches up. We are decades behind in what people are demanding now.

What's makes up the waste runoff And how efficient is the process? There has to be an effluent stream running out the back of the facility that's converting it. Do we know what to do with that?

Yeah stop now and we'd be a third world country taking orders from china. You'd be foolish to think otherwise.

the sad thing is that this pipeline isn't for American oil......it's for foreigners to move oil to sell to other foreigners....across America.....WTF?

So what do you say to the people who claim mining is raping the earth? How does this differ from coal or is it easy to turn away from because it's on top of the ground instead of underneath. It's like desalination...there's a shit ton of leftovers when you finish. Just like converting lithium... gots to go somewhere

No it's not it's shale sands from Canada and it's flowing to the gulf coast to be refined, not sold to foreigners. So leave out the WTF already.

Lithium is reclaimed from recycling batteries....oil? not so much

Actually not. The power is directly useful without batteries, it just can't be stored. Oddly enough, power demand spikes when the sun is out and decreases at night.
