Just my own perspective, wise one. Enjoy California!

Location: Sacramento. Your comment makes sense now.

Just keep moving along...Nothing to see here...It's that pesky private property and ownership that is stifling progress....lol

Shifting from fossil fuels to renewables requires huge amounts of critical metals.
Recycling alone won't be enough to sustain the amount of materials needed
We need to increase sharing, reuse and a preference for longevity to reduce demand.

We need a clean energy revolution, and we need it now. But this transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, to name a few. Shortages of these critical minerals could raise the costs of clean energy technologies.

One obvious route is to mine more virgin material, but this comes with its own costs and potentially unintended consequences. Another solution commonly discussed is to recycle more and use the metals already in circulation. The complication is that we do not currently have enough metals in circulation, and even with recycling taken into consideration, mineral production is still forecasted to increase by nearly 500%. So how should we proceed?

A fully circular economy is much more than recycling; it is keeping materials at their highest value. It is time to look beyond circular materials. These three mindset changes can help reduce demand for critical metals.

1. Go from owning to using

Be honest, you likely have at least one old mobile phone tucked in the bottom of a drawer. Possibly an unused hard drive taking up space too. You aren’t alone. The average car or van in England is driven just 4% of the time. While most already have a personal phone, 39% of workers globally have employer-provided laptops and mobile phones.

This is not at all resource efficient. More sharing can reduce ownership of idle equipment and thus material usage. Car sharing platforms such as Getaround and BlueSG have already seized that opportunity to offer vehicles where you pay per hour used.

To enable a broader transition from ownership to usership, the way we design things and systems need to change too. For example, car sharing is made possible by new keyless unlocking features. Similarly, user profiles that create a distinction for work and personal use on the same device is needed to reduce the number of devices per person. A design process that focuses on fulfilling the underlying need instead of designing for product purchasing is fundamental to this transition. This is the mindset needed to redesign cities to reduce private vehicles and other usages.

so im guessing its ok with joe if i take air force 1 on my trip to hawaii next month?after all,if hes not using it he should be sharing it with others...

I think a lot of people in general feel that if you want to own an EV it's ok. That's your choice.

99% of those that want EV think the rest of the country must drive what they demand we should. Logic, reason and personal freedom be damned.

THIS is the problem and why we are seeing such strong reactions to it.

[redcoats1976]

agree...

I agree. One side of the argument basically wants to be left alone. The other side wants to dictate what you can drive, where you can live, what you eat, the temperature of your home, what you can say….ad nauseum.

I say molon labe.

History teaches us that the side that wants to be left alone is always crushed by the side that effectively wields power.

Policies designed and implemented to reduce and eventually stop the production and usage of ICE vehicles will be just another example.

Amen to that. There is a reason certain states are losing people to freer states but one side wants to federalize everything to control everyone.

Agree, but I’ll always resist. I figure that’s my duty since many patriots in our past have paid the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the liberties we enjoy today. We were blessed with divine Providence when the nation was formed, and that is what will be required to reverse the decay today…

For the most part, yes, yet here we are in a mostly still free country (especially compared to the rest of the world). The trend is indeed what you're intimating, but there are singular events that "reset" this tide time and again.

Don't forget you must get the vaccine and wear a mask.
