Spin Zone / Tesla car batteries are NOT "green"
« on: June 22, 2017, 06:09:29 AM »
Well, what a surprise. I live in a pretty affluent area, and actually see a lot of Teslas on the road around here. It always confuses me why someone would pay over $100K for a battery powered car. I just don't get it. Does it make them FEEL better about themselves?

The car batteries used in a Tesla generate as much CO2 as driving a gasoline-powered car for eight years. And that’s before they even come off the production line.
This news, from a study by the Swedish Environmental Research Institute, will no doubt delight all those U.S. taxpayers who have been forking out billions of dollars to prop up Tesla’s share price having been assured by their government that subsidizing overpriced electric cars represents a vital step towards “combatting climate change.”
