Copper is a widely recycled metal. Is there not enough copper on earth to replace all ICE cars with EVs? Can you post some sources? And those numbers you keep talking about so I can verify if your calculator is working alright.

I already posted the link. You are welcome to verify the details for yourself by following up on what you take to be articles of faith. The burden of proof is on you to explain why the numbers actually work.

You act like no one has ever seen propaganda before. An extraordinary claim that all of society neglected some simple math, (even at significant personal investment losses in many cases) needs a bit more than one video.

Your link is an oil industry shill saying asinine things like EVs are too expensive because they have welds in their manufacturing processes.

Mark Mills is the founder of The National Center for Energy Analytics. Where do they get their funding? Groups like the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Where do they get their funding? That's right, billionaire oilmen.

Dude is paid to throw out falsehoods and sow doubt and confusion on behalf of oil industry billionaires.

> The burden of proof is on you to explain why the numbers actually work

The burden of proof is on you to share actual data of your claims there's not enough copper for EVs not ramblings of paid liars on a YouTube video.

> following up on what you take to be articles of faith

Hilarious you're suggesting him asking for actual data is him relying on blind articles of faith while your video is just a man rambling without any actual hard facts in a video, saying lots of things that just on their face make little sense.

You've convinced me, the data you have presented definitely makes it clear & obvious that Mark Mills is wrong & you are right.

But this guy says 9 out of 10 doctors prefer Camels!

Mark Mills is essentially the same as those researchers who told you cigarettes don't cause cancer and lead in the gas isn't anything to worry about.

I didn't really ask for analogies & metaphors but you spent a lot of time not doing any of the math. It's a good thing I found your argument convincing though, now everyone else can look at this thread & convince themselves that EVs are viable b/c you presented very coherent evidence & arguments.

> but you spent a lot of time not doing any of the math

I actually did the math two hours ago in the other comment showing your point about copper is nonsensical.

Strange the oil man is so concerned about a recycleable metal that an EV uses 200lbs or less of compared to the 48,000lbs a similar ICE will burn in gas. Doesn't bother thinking about all the extraction issues with that or how that will be a finite supply.

Hilarious.

But sure, take the words of a guy paid millions to lie to you about this very topic who gave you no data at all over the actual data I gave below.
