California issues a flex alert! That is that there's not enough electricity to go around so they ask the people of California to conserve energy and "Not to Charge their Electric Vehicles" ! The Elite won't be affected by it it's only us peons that will have to suffer. I feel sorry for the people that own electric vehicles ,now if they need to charge it up they are asked to wait until after 9 PM to operate their washers,dryers etc and to charge their vehicles. So, what do they do now? Hitch a ride with a friend that has already charged their vehicles up or with a friend that has a gas powered vehicle. We do not have the infrastructure to support such a massive change to the electrical grid . To make 1 battery for he electric vehicle it requires:
30 lbs of lithium, 60 lbs of cobalt ,130 lbs of nickel, 90 lbs. of copper, 190 lbs. of graqphite, 500 lbs. of steel , aluminum, manganese, plastic and other materials. all of which are derived from mining .The mining will ake place in 3rd world countries where there aren't any environmental regulations. These materials are required to make a battery and will be mined in China and the Congo.
The New York Time said "production of raw materials like lithium cobalt and nickel that are essential to [EV] technologies are often ruinous to land ,water,wildlife and people ". There you have it, Electric vehicles are horrible for the environment!

… Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
