[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Batteries use a ton of rare earth metals, and mining those is the opposite of environmentally friendly. [/quote] Sigh. First of all, the batteries can be and are recycled. Second, the rare earth metals mined in the US increasingly come from old mine waste piles - gold mines specifically. While these piles have been a source of pollution from the 1850s, they are now being repurposed and cleaned up. Finally, the othe rare earth mines are far away in Africa; the Chinese will work those mines whether you buy a Prius or not. PP: I can only guess you are trying to assuage your guilt for driving an Escalade.[/quote] Nah, I don't drive an Escalade, and I don't care that you drive a Prius. But don't delude yourself into thinking that you are so environmentally virtuous. [/quote]
