If the republicans actually cared about reliance on China, environmental impact, or work conditions, why not lobby for such materials to instead be purchased from Australia or as Pete said to produce on US soil? The reality is the republican party doesn't care, they feel attacked because their interest is with the oil companies and going for scaremongering rather than sitting down for talks with the democrats and foreign countries and trying to compromise. I understand EV's and solar panels aren't the only solution (if anything more public transport is, not more cars), but fossil fuels aren't either.

That the congressman was too emotional to receive that context in good faith does not discredit it. Pete is an excellent orator and an intelligent politician, so of course he came with receipts.

      It is clear the congressman did not want to hear a nuanced answer. Simply saying answer the question without context or subtext is just to make themselves look good. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would add the subtext which always has a way of exposing the question as a gotcha question. The congressman's whole premise was cobalt mining creating slavery and the Secretary made clear we are using less and less of cobalt in EVs, and we now get cobalt as a by-product from other processes in the United States.

      @@Bholla75 Read history. Fascism is SOCIALISM. Benito Mussolini was the editor of the Italian socialist paper and the lead of the socialist party. Before WW1 he, like many socialists, expected workers would band together and rise up against their "oppressors" without any borders. HE, like many socialists, saw that people held to nations over class. So Mussolini turned socialism from international to national, thinking that once others saw the success of his nation, they would also adopt socialism internationally. Mussolini also saw Lenin's implementation of Marx's ideas and chose to hold MUCH closer to Hegel, listening to Giovanni Gentili. If you don't LEARN from history, you, like all Democrats, will repeat history. Democrats are the party of Marx and Gentili.

      The transcontinental railroad was built essentially through the forced labor of exploited Chinese workers through much of the West. No surprise, costs go way down when an unconstrained & powerful industry (in this case the railroads) can force desperate non-citizens to work in dangerous conditions for next to no pay.
      Also, do a little research, & you might discover just how many workers lost their lives building that transcontinental railroad that you're pointing to as an example of industry as it SHOULD be. I'd say that a great many lost lives is a pretty high price to pay... but a price that you are finding very easy to (conveniently) ignore. I'd say that you're failing to include some rather staggering details into your "cost" analysis of how things were done back in the good old days.

    EV's are disingenuous in so many ways. They were just talking about battery components being made from materials provided by child slave labor. We could talk about the complete overhaul of the electrical grid that must happen to support EV charging. California is currently asking its citizens not to charge EVs as it is already taxing the existing grid with only 3% of total vehicles being electric.
    Now, let's talk about efficiency. Electricity doesn't just magically appear out of thin air. Roughly 60% of all electricity in the US still comes from fossil fuels. Consider that high voltage power lines lose roughly 8-15% of their energy in transmission. Consider also that the average EV is roughly 30% heavier than its gas powered counterpart. I would submit that EVs actually produce more pollution because of their gross inefficiency while still relying mostly on fossil fuels for that energy. It just pollutes somewhere else and not in your neighborhood. Someone brighter than me should do the math though and figure out exactly how much more. That would make an interesting report to reference when talking about whether or not EVs are actually greener than cars powered by fossil fuels. We ultimately would want to know how much pollution a fossil fuel powered car creates driving over a given distance versus how much pollution is created at a power plant to produce the energy needed by an EV to travel the same distance.
    Finally, I would want to know how much toxic material is created when scrapping each vehicle. Both have lifespans in the 8-12 year range, so both would be scrapped at roughly the same time. While I don't know for sure, I would guess that EVs create significantly more toxic waste when scrapped due to the volume of esoteric materials used in their construction. Certainly the thousands of pounds of batteries would be problematic. You might consider some sort of recycling program, but at what cost? Would that drive the cost to a point where the ave5rage person will never own a vehicle in their lifetime?
    So, go ahead and drive your EV smug in the knowledge that you are doing the responsible thing for the environment, and you are morally superior to those around you and not actually destroying both the environment and the economy with one fell swoop while promoting child slavery around the globe.
