"Replacing hydrocarbons with green machines under current plans—never mind aspirations for far greater expansion—will vastly increase the mining of various critical minerals around the world. For example, a single electric car battery weighing 1,000 pounds requires extracting and processing some 500,000 pounds of materials. Averaged over a battery’s life, each mile of driving an electric car “consumes” five pounds of earth. Using an internal combustion engine consumes about 0.2 pounds of liquids per mile."

There's nothing "green" about an electric car. Where does the electricity come from to charge them? Mostly from gas and coal. What's digging the raw materials for batteries out of the earth? Gas-run machinery. Where's the infrastructure for charging them? It's practically non-existent.

What happens when cars on the freeways get in a traffic jam due to an accident? In the cold of winter, the heaters are on. In the heat of summer the AC is on. Imagine even a handful of cars running out of juice. How are you going to move them out of the way? You can't just run over with a can of gas to get them going again. You will need a tow truck for each dead car. How long will it take to clear the road? What happens if you need to get an emergency vehicle through, like an ambulance or fire truck? Too bad, you won't.

Electric cars are not ready for prime time. There are still too many problems to overcome.
