Well its nothing new. I mean Diamond mines are far deadlier due to zero infrastructure in those tunnels. With that being said in spite of all the natural resources Africa has the people running these countries are far too corrupt and in it for themselves over their people to pay them decently.

Battery technology is progressing rapidly and while Cobalt is in demand for batteries now it my not be the same situation in a few years.

I thought that the main problem with miners in the Congo was the coltran which is used in electronics. Coltran prices spiked during the initial Playstation 2 release.

This is some dirty energy propaganda

But this is fine because men and women are different you know. This is natural.

I love a good controversy drumming piece. Remember when 500 or so chinese workers threatened suicide due to working conditions while being part of the cog in production of certain microchips for xboxes, ipads, and the like?

Marx was right on certain issues in theory; the civilized countries cannot grow without exploitation of 'barbarian lands'. Raise the min. wage? Outsource to countries with no laws. Raise the cost of worker protections? Outsource '' '' ''. Raise the EPA costs? Outsource '' '' ''.

A country can't grow economically without exploiting in trade, which is why we embargoed Iraq and the USSR to force political change from outside without actually going to war.

I mean, lets not forget the hypocrisy of vegetarians who claim they aren't hurting animals by eating only veggies. Yes, you are. Veggies need land cleared of all 'pests' and habitats for larger creatures like deer, etc. Then you need to leave rat, gopher, etc poison out to kill them off to protect your crops for higher yield. Then you need to spray with chemicals that kills bugs and causes starvation among bats, birds, etc, who rely on those bugs, if the predator species exists in numbers that were based on having so many bugs around before pesticides came into the neighborhood.

There's nothing you can do that doesn't require other living things to suffer for it.

It took a while for me to realize what the title was trying to say

This just in: Electric cars aren't made of magical, environmentally friendly fairy dust.
