That's good to hear Jays! I think your concerns about the environmental impact of uncontrolled extractive industries regarding not only Cobalt but also Lithium and other components are well-founded, and it's important to keep the pressure up to get them to clean up their act.

But although it's true to say that the EV industry is not as green as it could be, it's still not as bad as the fossil fuel industry, and of course what's killing us at the moment are the local emissions in cities and overall greenhouse gas productions.

As we used to say when I was consulting, it's all about draining the swamp vs shooting the alligators, you have to balance priorities, and right now I believe we need to scale back our use of fossil fuels.
