You've convinced me, the data you have presented definitely makes it clear & obvious that Mark Mills is wrong & you are right.

But this guy says 9 out of 10 doctors prefer Camels!

Mark Mills is essentially the same as those researchers who told you cigarettes don't cause cancer and lead in the gas isn't anything to worry about.


I didn't really ask for analogies & metaphors but you spent a lot of time not doing any of the math. It's a good thing I found your argument convincing though, now everyone else can look at this thread & convince themselves that EVs are viable b/c you presented very coherent evidence & arguments.

> but you spent a lot of time not doing any of the math

I actually did the math two hours ago in the other comment showing your point about copper is nonsensical.

Strange the oil man is so concerned about a recycleable metal that an EV uses 200lbs or less of compared to the 48,000lbs a similar ICE will burn in gas. Doesn't bother thinking about all the extraction issues with that or how that will be a finite supply.

Hilarious.

But sure, take the words of a guy paid millions to lie to you about this very topic who gave you no data at all over the actual data I gave below.
