Trump is being who he is, a big government populist. No spitballing. If you are fine with that, that is OK.

enough proven reserves to build EV batteries forever.


There are a lot, but most are untapped. I will say this, chemical plants use metals to polymerize monomers, lithium is one of those metals, and chem plants are worried about lithium supply due to EV production. There is a limit to everything!

We can build and run ICE vehicles, or EVs, forever. We have enough resources for either or both.

Careful, you’ve entered the PT…where anyone who doesn’t fully support Trump is considered a liberal

No. Gay and/or stupid, yes. I can see why you're confused.

Now do the disposal side of it. They don't last forever.

Is it gasoline powered? I've seen some on YouTube that are made of carbon fiber that are battery powered.

Couple of things here, since this is my jam. First, an hour at a supercharger (from another post in this thread)? That’s just a lie. More importantly, the eVTOL craze isn’t going to work for human transport as currently described. It will work for transporting organs, etc. High value, smaller payloads across short (<500 miles) is feasible. The next successful evolution of what is best described as Advanced Air Mobility will be hybrid-drive, STOL vehicles. The other breakthrough is Simplified Operation Vehicles. See SkyRyse.

As far as lithium extraction goes, check out Tesla’s 4680 battery day videos. That’s the only way to get efficient electric with enough energy density until some sort of cold fission breakthrough comes along.

As soon as they come out with a battery that will power my 105 HP tractor from daylight to dark and it takes less than 10 minutes to recharge, I'll be interested. Till then, no thanks.

Look, everyone knows Trumps says some stuff. Even his supporters, so this isn't exactly a gotcha.

Have you seen 5:00 traffic trying to get onto I-12 at 190? Be a whole lot easier to avoid with a flying car
