    I mean it’s pretty common knowledge that China is the biggest rare earth metals producer in the world. It’s also well known that the batteries they produces are pretty bad for environment. And it’s also known that Chinese EVs are still better for climate change than oil. It’s all been covered many many times. Are you following any news?

        I mean it’s not that simple because you can’t recycle the entire battery

          The number I’m seeing is up to 95% recyclable. That’s preeetttty much the entire battery. Are you talking about something else?

      I never said it’s not better than oil, I never even mentioned climate change. Lemmy sucks, you guys are dicks, like fuck me for asking a question lol

      Worse community than reddit, fuck you guys. This is why lemmy is never going to grow. Wonder why comment sections are dead? You are the problem.

      To answer your question, yeah I follow news, that’s why I assume China is probably strip mining for metals in the worst way possible. Of course mass producing batteries is going to be environmentally destructive. So where are the mines?
