How does this comment have 25 upvotes. I'm disappointed there are at least 24 other people this stupid on the planet.

Oh I'm sorry do you think green energy has no impact on the environment? You know where lithium comes from? Or how incredibly polluting it is to mine for it? Don't pretend green energy is actually green. All those electric trucks use mostly coal-fired power plants to get a charge and that's not going to change anytime soon. So it's just pollution on top of pollution. We should be aiming for hydrogen not lithium.
