Environment is ‘being destroyed’ to create EVs 

"It took me about 15 minutes to figure out electric cars were rubbish. They're expensive, boring to drive, useless for long journeys, and if we're honest, not especially good for the environment." -- Jeremy Clarkson

The world governments have not been honest about the harmful effects of Green Energy as a whole to the planet and our environment.

When you buy an EV you're really buying a giant battery with a flashy toy car built around it.

What are they going to do with all the soloar panels in 20 years, along with all the dangerous chemicals in them that harm the environment??

😂😂 i wonder what all the climate hackivists think about this...they killed the world for their EVs.

IT'S OVER FOR LABOR , LABOR IS DONE .

We are not even happy with our electric Wipper snipper let alone an $80,000 car that we cannot afford…

Australia is already net zero LOL. We have enough trees that offset the carbon output of our nation... but yeah keep cutting them down

My friend's roof top solar panels are not working anymore after 10 years. Moreover, the roof tiles were drilled with holes during the installation time, hence there are two big problems now! And yes, it's absolutely true that the environment is destroyed in the process of manufacturing solar panels.

Most modern diesel and petrol cars can well drive past 500,000 kilometres on the odometer, The EV battery will be long gone by then and ten thousand to replace, what’s more environmentally friendly?

As for EVs, it's not that people don't like change. It's that the technology is really not in place for many areas. The USA and Australia are huge countries. An EV might be fine as a second short-distance commuter car, but we just aren't there, yet. And some behave as if the EV 'process', from start to finish, is pure as the driven snow. Far from it. It's only "clean' in the middle part of the EV's birth to death. Even the middle part depends upon how that electricity is acquired.

MAGA: Make Albo Go Away

The people's panel have spoken. Let's see if the people's elected government listens. Don't hold your breath. But, and there is a but. The backlash against the wokies in the west has begun.

EVs are ABSOLUTE JUNK

Science should lead policy, not policy leading 'science'. We had that with CoVID.

We told you this skynews now ur reporting on it no one wants a Ev car

Maybe we could start with electing a new government that is not addicted to lieing.

Nobody cares about the environment. All that matters is Carbon. Ridiculous.

A big problem with EVs is , they are all smoke and mirrors , as far as being a car they have one or two good points , but they come with a whole pile of bad points . And politicians are either too stupid to understand this or , they just find it as another bullshit cause they think they can easily pull the wool over the eyes of the general public with. EVs are inferior to a good internal combustion engine vehicle in the vast majority of ways, and this is absolute fact. I used to work in the automotive industry, and I can honestly say they are rubbish, throw away plastic fantastics. A family member has a Tesla, , and my honest opinion is I think they are rubbish. I’d rather drive my 30 year old Lexus , or 7 year old big Toyota sedan. And I could write another full page of why they are crap , but I don’t want to go on and on.

There is a reason electric cars were given up 100+ years ago- the limits of technology, exactly where we are today with battery tech, grid usability, etc

Makers lie about EV range.Most EVs will be lucky to do 2 thirds of the range that they claim.

Climate change refers to long-term economic growth of politicians bank accounts an big business models.

Think of the electric semi-trailer. When they stop for a "refuel", the trailers are disconnected and the prime mover is backed into a shed where a gantry crane lifts off the depleted batteries and replaces it with a charged battery pack. The prime mover is then reconnected to the trailers. All during a "rest stop", say the electric truck companies. The depleted batteries need to be recharged and that will be done by solar panels, the greens say. We are looking at 1000 solar panels to recharge one truck battery pack in one hour. There are 1000s of trucks on the Hume Highway every day. Summer and winter, sunshine and overcast. How much land has to be given over to solar farms just to keep these moving?

EVs don't come in manual - end of story for me personally

Innovation and engineering has improved the general cleanliness of internal combustion engines many times fold better over the last 25 odd years than what internal combustion engines did the previous 75 years. I live near Vancouver BC Canada, I recall especially hot summer days in the 80's the real pollution (btw Co2 in not a pollutant) would create a yellowish, brownish haze that would hang in the sky throughout the Fraser Valley. Over the last 20 or so years, I've never seen such crap in the sky. This is with knowing near twice as many motor viehicles on our roads and highways. Let engineering and innovation move internal combustion engine design forward, not idiocy from blowhard politicians and elitists who have god-like mentality forcing society.🤔

I’ve just invented an EV cordless extension cord

Why not plonk a modular nuclear generator within an existing power grid ? Or is that too logical ?

All 🐂💩 cost of living is the most important. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎

EVs use lithium batteries. You can't throw out the trash without destroying the environment. The mining of lithium is filthy. Just stop.

That is okay as long as they don't use gas, Oh wait!!

Anything to do with being kicked out of Africa?? 🤔

HMAS N.S. Sherlock sets sail this day, on a three hour cruise, a three hour cruise.....⚡🌩

Fossil fuels don't cause extreme temperatures , but they do enable us to protect ourselves from their effects.

Literally the environment needs carbon. The build block of life and tree food. Omg

Trade one pollutant for another. Lithium EV batteries are highly toxic to people and our environment, a constant fire danger adding one more thing to an all ready polluted environment . EMF Radiation is another concern from these EVs

Did she say "having access to knives?"

The cult of environmental activism is not about the environment for the sake of itself, or even improving or preserving the environment for humans. It is about depopulation. It is antihuman.

1:07 time for knife licenses. SMH 🤦‍♂️ you never go full C,c.p. How dare you be able to buy some steak knives without govt permission before hand.

Make the hydro-car and I'll buy one

How come all the other news xhannels have their comments turned off?

Yes well apart from the destruction of the environment for the materials needed to make EV's there are so many other "hidden" aspects such as the pollution form the specially made tyres which wear faster than normal ICE vehicles tyres do and the problem of disposing of the EV especially the battery when the EV is either written off or simply wears out. Not forgetting the danger that lithium ion battery fires evolve extremely toxic and explosive gases, and the toxic debris left over from that fire. It is well known that such toxic materials from these fires can cause life changing disabilities or death on immediate exposure up to days, months or years after that exposure. The cost of this toxic damage could cost in obscene amounts of money to the health system and hence the countries' economy, and one doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to know who is going to foot that bill!!

Ban EVs from parking under all residential buildings and ferrys. Thay are a catastrophe waiting to happen!!!

Oh, really? Isn’t that a surprise!

Supercharger, are you kidding me? A supercharger goes on an ice, misuse of the name for Ev's!

well that means ten the next generation will have the privilage of living in a dangerously hot situation and the 6th great extinction.

It will take 40 yrs to faze out ice cars. As for towing you need the higher rated battery which are changing weekly.

Ya all like that gai disclaimer from YT ?

Put a hold on imagination!!!

Always carry, always.

EVs for urban commuting will take some pressure off petroleum demand for transport making it cheaper for heavy freight transport. The trick is to continue to con the urban elites that its a virtuous thing to do

Still waiting for a parody of Tesla but instead calling them Tossers!!

We all knows!

should have known spearmint destroys the trees

If this is true, valid evidence is required to support this claim. If it IS true, could continued development of hydrogen be the road we need to go down, or maybe there's something else we haven't thought of yet.

did you guys miss the video of the tesla pulling a Dreamliner? possibly heavier than a caravan or a boat I dunno you geniuses tell me

You don’t say

Ignore reality and suffer the consequences

Australia is Just ten years behind the rest of the world - they don’t call you the America of the Pacific for no reason😂

First you women tell us men not to discipline and punish our kids if they do something wrong - now you are telling us it’s our fault that we don’t discipline and punish our kids… Make up your mind - or should I say feeeelings , or perhaps stop interfering with society.

How dare you spoil my virtue signal!

Your car shall only be allowed to be used when your social justice score is above a defined level. Better start supporting palestine and reconcilaition NOW

Is this the ostrich channel?

FEVs and FJB. 🥶🔥🖕🇨🇳

😂😂😂 watch out! EVs are coming to get you! And renewables! And inclusion! And net zero! 😂😂😂😂

You are discussing crime but as usual the Media only hears the view of mostly women as shown here. We hear about equal representation but it doesnt happen when it matters like here.....

Everyone should have an EV and plug them in at night so your solar panels can charge them up. Simples.

Sodium batteries are much better than LiFePO4. Cars will be quiet and will not pollute if charged with solar energy.

Ev still growing.. air pollution in china and California is getting better. We dont need ice mechanics. No needfor oil and gas

We need govt to achieve net zero.

What you put in the tank goes straight into the atmosphere, you may as well just go down the beach and tip diesel fuel on the sand, so you don’t think a oil spill is a catastrophe , millions of cars trucks billions of litres of oil every day use some common sense, smell the coffee

The neanderthal attitudes to EVs in Australia are funny - Australia is so backwards. It's surprising considering Australia could benefit more from EVs than just about any country on the planet - it has world leading solar, world leading wind generation potential, the worlds largest deposits of lithium, world leading battery companies, rare earth minerals, and even graphine for new battery tech. A Tesla just drove 13,543km around Australia in just ten days, and instead of paying $3000 (what it would cost to do the trip with petrol), it cost just $300. But apparently backwards Australians think you can't do long trips.

What will you drive when there is no more petrol, gas and diesel sold? EV's are the only future and it will happen.
