Now why would anyone want to make electric vehicles look bad for the environment?   ::)

Thanks for posting, I didn't know how lithium was extracted until now. :-)

You don't burn the lithium and sent it in to the air we breath feet away from your nose.

At today's oil prices tar sands are basically worthless.  It cost more energy to refine tar sands then you can sell the petroleum products for.
