Could this be true?

This is a Tesla battery.

To manufacture it you need:

12 tonnes of rock for Lithium

5 tons of Cobalt minerals

3 tons of mineral for nickel

12 tons of copper ore

Move 250 tons of soil to obtain:

12 kg of Lithium

30 pounds of nickels

22 kg of manganese

15 pounds of Cobalt

100 Kg of rams

200 kg of aluminum, steel or and plastic

The Caterpillar 994A used for earthmoving consumes 1000 liters of diesel in 12 hours.

Finally you get a zero emissions car.

"100 Kg of rams"

???

Probably the same energy input mining gold & store it. Seems more pointless to me.

You also need children as slave labour
