    It rains... And water seeps through... Therefore... contaminating the ground.. and whatever water stands or accumulates inside... This is a totally bad idea...

    I go to, and deal with numerous landfills. They are some of the most regulated facilities in the world

    All of the water and run-off is taken care of

    Plus there are designated landfills for hazardous waste 

    They won’t be getting rid of the batteries in a normal facility

    Your conservative politicians have told to not like EVs. Those politicians line their pockets with oil and gas companies. You pull the party line. Nothing more. 

    EVs are clearly the right direction to go, and they'll continue to get better. 

    A sad representation of the UM's indoctrination again ?

    Woodsucker continues to pull the party line w/o doing his homework.

    People also ask

     

     

     
     
     
    Are batteries bad for landfills?
     
     
     
    Image result for landfills and battery
    1) Improperly disposed batteries contribute to water and air pollution. When depleted batteries are tossed into the trash, they end up in landfills where they decay and leak. As batteries corrode, their chemicals soak into soil and contaminate groundwater and surface water.
     

    Battery Recycling is Important for Environmental Health

    Do electric car batteries go to landfills?
     
     
    But eventually those batteries, along with the toxic chemicals that can leach out of them, could end up in hazardous waste landfills. There are no EV-battery recycling plants in California, and only five up and running nationwide, according to CalEPA.Jan 27, 2022

    nice for the environment....how???

    Landfills are contained. They don’t get into the water

    no, not true.

    How Landfills Contaminate the Groundwater. If you live near a landfill, this is a scenario you should be concerned about: ·The landfill began accepting waste before 1990. ·Groundwater in your area flows from the landfill in the direction of your home. ·The groundwater is your home's water supply and/or the groundwater is very shallow (50 ...
    Feb 17, 2022Heavy metals include: arsenic, antimony, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, selenium and many more. Heavy metals can contaminate private wells through groundwater movement and surface water seepage and run-off. People that consume high levels of heavy metals risk acute and chronic toxicity, liver, kidney, and intestinal damage, anemia, and cancer.
    Sep 16, 2021Water sources near the closed Hinesburg landfill are contaminated and the town appears to be on the hook for some expensive workarounds in the short term and in the long term as it searches for a solution. After testing in June and July, the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation sent the town a letter that said water from wells at a ...

    that is heartening, but as I posted, there are closed landfills that are very, very bad. and I can't imagine batteries not being just discarded along some dump roadside in a lot of distant rural/country areas around the country.

  • I’m sure we can find some third world country to send them…maybe send them to the moon ? 

  • electric car fans love forced labor making those car's batteries. slavery.

    There isn't any legitimate defense of being all in on electric cars. Estimated TWICE AS MUCH "global warming" potential, uses DOUBLE the amount of energy than producing a combustion engine care.

    Just another imaginary utopian fiasco libs like woody glue themselves to.

    A great read:

    Firstly, producing an electric vehicle contributes, on average, twice as much to global warming potential and uses double the amount of energy than producing a combustion engine car. This is mainly because of its battery. Battery production uses a lot of energy, from the extraction of raw

    nice, after the fact. lol.

    the problem is, not everybody recycles. and the energy to recycle.... is

    mostly FOSSIL FUELS.

  • The size of a EV battery will make it almost impossible to just throw away. 

    You can’t just throw it away in your garbage can. Plus it most likely would have to be replaced by a mechanic. Making them responsible for it’s disposal

    Just wait until you see the cost to replace that battery.  Just throw the car away also.

    No Doubt some of the original model T owners eventually went back to horses. I think the problem with electric vehicles is that somebody in government is getting rich from them and wants to force the issue faster then it should be implemented.

    Right.... Because everyone knows there's no lobbying in the oil and gas industries. Everyone knows it's actually the cleanest industry, no pun intended.

    Yeah, pay no attention to Texas setting new monthly records for temps in April, May and now June (which has been like mid-August). Been in the worst drought since the worst in 50 plus years in 2011.

    But tomorrow we get back into the 90s thank goodness. A real cold front!  But keep on burning that gas & oil. I'm gettin' richer.??
