Do you know the environmental impact of the disposal of said batteries at the end of usage?
Did you know that the U.S. has consistently reduced CO2 emissions since mileage requirements were implemented?
If oceans are/will be rising, why do so many wealthy "green" people continue to purchase coastal property?
Do you know the sources of electric power in your state? Do your utility companies burn natural gas, use coal or nuclear power?
Do you know where most of the solar panels used in the U.S. are manufactured?
Do you know what happens to windmill blades once they must be replaced?
