The Great Reset agenda, based in part upon the climate change crisis scam, offers electric cars as the grand answer to personal transportation. Such cars are said to be fully environmentally friendly. That is until one looks more closely at how these monstrosities are produced. The element lithium is extracted from salar brines; it is essential for batteries. According to the Institute for Energy Research (IER), it takes approximately 500,000 gallons of water to extract one metric ton of lithium from salar brines. This in itself endangers environments which already face water shortages, and the mining process itself, has vast pollution. All of these inconvenient truths are ignored by the climate change fanatics.
