Electric vs diesel

I get it batteries can be dangerous. But that doesn't mean they can't be used safely and effectivly

There are new battery technologies evolving right now that will make this a moot point.

I hope non poisonous batteries are the near future. It breaks my heart to see Chinese workers with cotton gloves & a dust mask sorting through pails of these things. Tesla recycles its batteries with its global partners.......

So safe that my friend died of throat cancer from lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries.

You would have to weigh that against people working in close contact with oil in the petro chemical industry and the related cancers to that industry and also cancers related to exhaust fumes ,a double whammy. Has to be in the millions.

You do realize that is not how the vast majority of battery recycling is done right?

I'm sure that is good news to the people dying from poison battery fumes. Lets hope the future is as Bgreen says.
