Interesting how there is basically 0 oversight into the disposal. Seems a bit like this is getting rammed down our throats...

How come you havent posted this article yet sir Chuck?
im actually surprised cbc has run this article.

EV battery recycling and repurposing is already underway and developing.

And environmental impact and the life cycle and recycling all materials should be at the top of the list of priorities.

And we should be carefully looking at all industries and measuring their carbon foot print and environmental impact.

But why did your concern seem only to start with EV batteries?

We have been mining toxic materials and negatively impacting the environment for centuries. But you are just speaking up now?

It's ironic to see people who criticize governments for too many environmental regulations and have never spoken up before about the environment impact of oil and gas industries, suddenly get all environmental and then want to impose stiffer rules on EVs and renewable energy?

You can see right through them and their self serving fake concern.

I guess Chuck if every other industry is supposed to mind their ESG’s then the “green” ones should as well.

[chuckChuck]

Yes I agree.

But did Danny the dinosaur and her predecessors ever impose a moratorium on oil and gas development to reduce the environmental impact, impose stricter land controls and clean up all the abandoned wells?

Nope!

The hypocrisy, irony and the oil runs thick in Alberta!

The reason i posted this was to show the hypocrisy of YOU chuck. You post everything pro ev and renewable but verrrryyyy little concern about the negatives.
also. Christ sake man ive been trying to be reasonable but you just clap back in the worst ways.
Believe me sir. I know all about oil and gas. I get it. And it sucks. Money wins and danielle smith is a pure clown.
You always manage to twist and deflect and defend though
. Its something to see!

I have Personally told oil and gas to go blow in regards to drilling on my own land that i own and farm. Im no fan of big oil but i understand its need and use in todays world.
but again... this thread had 0 to do with O+G but in classic leftist ( and righties do the same) its deflect deflect defend..
But But But oil and gas!

A classic response .

Well played.

What's the big deal about recycling batteries of any kind.

You do it during exchanges, or take them to the scrappers to be paid by the pound.

What going to change when it comes to battery recycling everybody should be doing regardless, they are worth money.

Chuck was right to not read the article. In the very second paragraph the author presents this Whopper:
the transition to EVs — including 250,000 jobs and $48 billion a year added to the nation's economy through the creation of a domestic supply chain.

If this is actually creating net jobs, for products for domestic consumption, a market which is currently being filled by highly efficient Canadian energy, for which the infrastructure is already in place. Then this green fiasco is a net cost to the economy, not a gain as the author claims.

Just thinking of the disaster when one of these EV recycling facilities goes up in smoke and superheated explosions… Let alone when the EV burns up in the 10 story parking garages… charging all those EV Batteries at minus 30…

What could possibly go wrong????

Someone should figure out how many billions of pounds of batteries will need recycling every year.

at 500 million vehicles in North America and the average battery is 1200 pounds that’s about 600 billion pounds of batteries if all the vehicles are electric, I can’t see a problem with recycling 600 billion pounds of battery’s

I’m a little sarcastic tonight.
