the truth about electric cars!!

We always hear and read that electric cars are the future of the world and they are one of the main solutions to protect the earth.

But let me ask this question: are electric cars 100% clean and sweet for our environment?

The response is between yes and no; my response is a bit weird but the truth is that we can't say electric cars are totally sweet for earth today, but maybe they can be it next years.

Todays advertising campaigns focus on the benefits of an after fabricated car.
But what about an electric car during fabrication,

Every car in the world needs metal, plastic and a lot of electricity to be fabricated. For oil and gas ones that's enough; they are ready to circulate and contribute to hurt ecology directly.
But the electric ones need obviously a battery.
So reader, can you guess with what we make batteries?
With lithium and cobalt

With the rising of the electric cars market in the world, the industrial demand for these two metals exploded,
And that's made countries and companies who extract it, forget all sort of moral code, and start to extract it without control.
Business is business, and business is telling me that I have to satisfy this new industry, using all sort of power and authority on people who works in my company including children’s....

80% of the world's lithium is extracted in South America '’Chile Bolivia Argentina" using a lot of water making territories drought.
Like it's not enough, working conditions are pitiful and the use of chemicals products expose them to a lot of disease.

For the cobalt, Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country in Africa, is the host of the environmental disaster and the human exploitation, miners works in dangerous conditions without any security, using children’s when they can't get somewhere in the mine. So accidents are very frequent and number of victims is huge.

Conclusion, electric cars are very far of what we call sweet for environment. Even when they circulate, electric cars are charged with non-renewable energy, especially when you know that most countries don’t surpass 15 % of the renewable energy production, including big countries like USA.

watching this innocent child makes me sick of how people can't have a seed of humanity.
