Are electric vehicles really clean? See video below. Is the reporter correct? If so, we must demand manufactures of electric vehicles stop purchasing cobalt (apparently a stabilizer in the production of lithium batteries) from sources that involve child labour and put children at risk! The move away from fossil fuels is good but we must not allow the embrace of electric vehicles to be sullied by scandal—especially when it hurts people. If it does that, then it's not clean at all. If zero emissions are to be achieved and the Paris Accord goals met, it must not achieved at the expense of the poorest and most vulnerable people on the planet.
