To be clear #-3’s original post was that I think EVs was 1/3 emissions vs ICE and I’m still questioning that. Not that he’s wrong, EVs do appear to be better for the environment it’s just the benefit overstated. That, combined with considering Musk, who he is and what he stands for etc., to me we should just move along from Tesler altogether. I think #-3’s original point was kinda “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” kinda logic but to me I look at the big picture aggregate and it’s a bit like…… meh….
Has there been a study that both sides agree about the metrics and what is being measured?

The one thought I have is that comparing lithium mines to O/G extraction does not take into account that O/G is not 100% used for gasoline. Also, avoiding the oil sands, it seems like most O/G extraction is minimally invasive and able to be remediated (if the company actually does it, another topic) whereas a strip mine is not.

I am curious about the process and all of the inputs and would love to see a measured study on this.
