  5. ​@windson7 Lol transportation accounts for 28% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. Industry 22%. Methane and LPG are barely any better than gasoline and diesel.

  7. The oil industry uses loads of cobalt in the refining process of petrol and diesel. And yes you need plastics and lubricants to build EV's, nobody is denying this. But the total requirement for oil related materials over the lifetime of the car is FAR LESS than any petrol or diesel vehicle.
