Biden/Harris pushed EVs as “green." But EV inputs are actually very dirty, which is why we outsource the "dirty" industrial process to countries with lax environmental regulation (Congo, Indonesia, China) - we wouldn't even want it done here which is why it's nothing more than "green colonialism." And that doesn't even account for chemical toxicity at EVs end of life disposal.

It's amazing how many people just bought right into the money grab.

Congo has around 70% of the world’s cobalt, a critical mineral for EV batteries. That supply was going to go somewhere, and it was either going to us or to China. That’s why USAID was involved: to build roads, bridges, and infrastructure that would make it easier for cobalt to reach Western markets instead of flowing straight to China.

But then we walked away from it. Millions in investment left behind. The reason? “Fraud.” Meanwhile, China didn’t hesitate to take our spot. Now they control a major chunk of the global cobalt pipeline.

You can start here. There are plenty of resources that discuss these realities. The points I made aren't even debated.

Aside from unintended environmental consequences, the government pushed EVs beyond what the market was ready to support and used EV prices are down 40+ percent since their peak in late 2022 💀
