Shocker! NBC News breaks story that electric vehicles come with a huge environmental downside

As a lot of folks know, I’m a car guy. I’ve gotten a chance to drive some pretty incredible vehicles over the years, but I never could have imagined ones like the electric vehicle I took for a spin today.

The future is electric – and it will be made right here in America. pic.twitter.com/foX0ydM6mo

But Biden and the “green new deal”-supporting Democrats won’t like NBC News letting the cat out of the eco-bag with this story:

SPECIAL REPORT: To build electric cars, manufacturers need to mine nickel.

To dig up more nickel, a mining company plans to bulldoze a section of pristine rainforest.

Battery-powered cars aren’t all upside? No way!

You’re just figuring this out now?

It was the worst-kept secret of EVs

It tells you so much about the soft handed end user class that they actually think electric cars are "green".

Oh, look. Progressives playing catch-up to Conservatives. Again.

Must be a day that ends in 'y.'

Now that the truth can be told about how we make lithium ion batteries, wait until you hear about how the laws of physics limit their utility as a viable replacement for on-demand power generation. https://t.co/9OJJ1PkWXJ

Democrats pitching electric cars as a totally “clean” and “green” option is laughable, but at least maybe the media’s starting to catch on.

What other discoveries will the media make in the near future?

Next they'll report on where electricity comes from. https://t.co/BkRHVtMPjN
