The sad truth is EV drivers dont give a shit about the environment/human rights abuses.  They only care about virtue-signalling or buying the latest gadgets.  It's the iPhone crowd. Enjoy your environmentally-frienfly EV![/quote]

Definitely no human rights abuses or environmental concerns in the petroleum industry at any point, either, you're totally right about that.[/quote]

Yes, you're correct.  So why are EV drivers not concerned about the environmental carnage and human rights abuses caused by EV battery development? [/quote]

Who said EV owners aren't concerned about battery development? Maybe they're making a decision that they value cutting greenhouse gas emissions more than preventing damage from mining rare metals. I don't think the fact that EVs also have some associated negatives should mean we just throw up our hands and stick with gas engines, though -- better to push to improve battery technology and human rights protections in that industry than to just sneer at people who buy EVs, isn't it?[/quote]
