Will we be Driving Electric Cars Only? Real Cost

Driving Electric CARS ONLY? THE REAL COST? So, how is charging an electric car damaging to the environment? Currently, most power plants are using coal to produce power and electricity. Other materials come from destructive mines from all over the world that harm our environment. For example, a mine in China called Jiangxi uses acid pools, coal furnaces, and oil drilling to get materials for these vehicles. This results in a lot of pollution and metal for electric cars. First, raw materials needed for batteries are extracted at a high human and environmental toll. This includes, for example, child labor, health and safety hazards in informal work, poverty and pollution. As the world’s largest military power, the U.S. military is the single biggest consumer of fossil fuels and producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. In addition to concerns about climate change, American military officials continue to highlight the national security implications of being overly dependent on fossil fuels.
