Nothing shows true commitment to fighting climate change like blocking sales of EVs.

They blocked Chinese solar panels years ago. So we have to buy expensive Canadian made panels (which are probably backdoor Chinese panels), or find a supplier that has done an end run by routing panels via SE Asia and tacked on more costs. It's bullshit.

I know you are being sarcastic, but China does not give two fucks where they source the rare minerals that consist within the batteries they manufacture.

Look up the cobalt mines in Africa. China has essentially reintroduced slavery back into Africa with this.

Suggesting that western manufacturers give any more of a shit about this is laughable.

Just an example of how ridiculous this justification is, Tesla sources raw materials from a Chinese supplier.
