Is the energy transition really increasing mining needs? A typical petrol car burns 17,000 liters of fuel over its life, while an EV needs just 160 kg of metals in its battery—99% less mining. Even without battery recycling (and we will recycle), clean tech mining is far lower.

🚨 Germany just discovered 43 million tonnes of lithium—one of the largest lithium projects in the world. If Germany can turn this into production, it will be the battery capital of Europe. That matters for America too. Why? A stronger European battery supply chain means the U.S. gets help countering China’s dominance in the energy sector. And it’s not just about mining. Germany is already building refineries in Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. Car giants (like BMW and Mercedes) are building gigafactories. If Germany controls both the mining and refining, it will own the entire European battery supply chain—giving the West more power against axis powers like Russia and China. Let’s GOOO!!

Electric cars are sold as clean. Yes, EVs cut tailpipe pollution, but if the goal is CO2 reduction, the full chain tells a different story. The production of an EV requires more mining, refining, battery production and power generation over a standard petrol or diesel car. Battery minerals are dug up and processed elsewhere. Air, water, soil and workers take the hit. Across the full chain, EVs cut CO2 by only 20%. But on top of that, batteries degrade. Over an EV's life, one battery replacement will collapse any CO2 advantage. EVs also add major electricity demand. They do not erase the old energy system. They load more pressure onto it. So this is not zero emissions. If you want to charge your EV at night or when the wind isn't blowing, then it will be 100% fossil fuel powering that. EVs are not green. They are virtue signaling on wheels.

Some of the positive things I discovered while visiting small scale mining sites engaged in very responsible mining. So, how does UTAG explain its call for a blanket ban on ALL small scale mining? Doesn’t make sense one bit!
