The rush for cobalt: Investigating the dark side of electric
car batteries

FRANCE 24 brings you a special debate about the rush for
cobalt, a strategic mineral essential to making electric
car batteries. Electric vehicles will help reduce the pollution
caused by the internal combustion engine, the current standard
for most motorised transport. But as our special full-length
Reporters programme shows, the mining of the cobalt necessary
for the batteries is already a source of human misery and
damage to the environment, particularly in DR Congo. We delve
into the issue with our guests, including the co-director
of "The Battle for Cobalt", our documentary about the dark
side of the cobalt rush.

. . .

Interesting ... the WokieLeft is gung-ho for "slavery
repairations" and such - but it's A-OK if slavery and
using-up child labor in CONGO is part of making batteries
for their beloved electric vehicles.

And what's being done for lithium in China and Bolivia,
let's not talk about THAT either !

In short, your E-Car runs on BLOOD MONEY - layers and
layers of SLAVERY and BRUTALITY.

What was that movie about "blood diamonds" ? Well, this
is a LOT worse, a MUCH larger scale, and all the players
KNOW it.
