I dont have all the answers but I do know injecting a slurry of chemicals into rock & its deep ground water to squeeze dinosaur juice out of the ground is a pretty outdated way of pushing a car around. If a battery can work in the vacuum of space we can get one to work on the back forty in winter at home. Im kind of a fan of hydrogen and fusion myself.... its time those crusty old crooks pulling our puppet strings get the curtains lifted up on themselves. Wanna see some sparks!!!! ask one of your local frack sand pits what they are doing with their heavy metal tailings - concentrated metals out of their wash facilities - better yet if they are making sand for glass... that stuffs gotta be real clean.
Yeah another possible statement: “No extraction or wealth source should be restrained in the name of environmental concerns” (so if you don’t support Keystone you must be an idiot!)... or you might say “We should make some consideration of environmental degradation balanced against never ending human expansion and wants.” Once you start to suspect there might be some truth to the second statement, the issues get a little more complicated!
Edit: and a big battery can also be a ten million pound sled you roll up a hill when the winds blowing and the suns shining.
