Location: St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada
1500 acres of prime agriculture land are in the process of being replaced by the battery plant. Up to 3,000 acres of prime agriculture land or more will eventually be replaced by secondary development related to the plant.
Once the agricultural land is built on, it cannot be reclaimed.
Ontario is losing over 300 acres of agriculture land a day due to development.
The federal and provincial governments have legally bribed VW to build the plant in St. Thomas, giving the car manufacturer close to $13 billion in tax dollars via cash and subsidies.
The battery site will have tailings ponds that pose an environmental risk to the surrounding agriculture land.
Since massive amounts of agriculture land are being sacrificed, then this land is obviously not valued. Will people have no choice than to eat lab-based meat, insects, GMO plant-based food at some point? What will happen to food prices with less and less agriculture land?
The EV battery itself is highly harmful to the environment, involving around 250 tons of earth extraction just to get the minerals for a single battery, not to mention the water contamination from tailings ponds and CO2 release....
The electricity that powers EV vehicles derives partly from unsustainable sources such coal, gas, and oil, thus offsetting the lack of EV exhaust emissions.
So the EV vehicle is not about the environment as being claimed by establishment politicians. It is about the technocratic agenda, including self-driving, automated vehicles...
