      That use plastics and rare metals and glass all of which aren’t infinite resources.

      Two decades from now we will still be struggling with a climate crisis and these “solutions” aren’t solutions

        Glass? That is in no way a rare resource. We have alternatives to plastic and alternative battery architectures are being developed from multiple quarters. It’s true that these still have environmental impact but it’s still a huge improvement over ICE vehicles.

          Fully agree I only mention glass because it is viewed as an infinitely recyclable material but it really isn’t. We live on a silicate rich planet but even then there is a limit and these are the conversations we need to normalize before we do this same thing to ourselves again with our mass consumption of all resources
