    Typically not by injecting toxic carcinogens into the ground to do so, like we do with fracking.

    Also I’ve not heard of any strip mining activities that turn a town’s only water supply into something that’s flammable, but I perhaps missed that?

    Or the ongoing incidents of child and adult cancer caused by this itty bitty little toxic waste issue.

      No need to flat out lie in order to make a point.

      Unless you want to honestly double down on the “I am so ignorant that I honestly believe mines do not contaminate surrounding areas” card you should take off for the day, rest up, and try again tomorrow bud.

        My friend, you are the one who is saying batteries are somehow dirtier than natural gas.

        Bring the receipts or head on out, we are getting bored.

          Not your friend for one. For the other, I don’t need to “bring the receipts” to demonstrate that mining and battery production is not good for the environment.

          Anyone who needs that is too mentally feeble to be a part of this discussion and should recuse themselves for their own safety.

            Let me ask you this since you do not appear to be arguing in good faith and are using strawmen: do you believe humans are most of the cause of climate change?
