How many of these topics do you need? Goodness. Over and out.
These are all different topics that need their own area
so you can skip over those that you have no interest in.
Look at the Index it says Cars, Trucks inc. so the topic should
stay in bounds and not get too far off track.

And they're gonna need really big tires that can hold lots of air,...... because in a world of no fossil fuels we won't have ships or planes to cross large bodies of water.

And beyond that, we are all going to be dead in 12 years from global warming...or global cooling...or climate change...so what does it really matter? BB will get 2 years to gloat about trucks he either cannot afford or cannot afford to get charged.
Meanwhile I'll be sucking hind tit because I no longer feel like working so I will just get a check in the mail in 2 years. See ya all on the trails I groom for you to have a smooth snowmobiling ride in downtown VT.

If they ever saw a list of all the things made with fossil fuels, that they use and need, every day, they'd go into shock.

If Lithium were to be mined/extracted in the States you can bet your ass the environmental people would have it shut down so quick our heads would spin. It’s all right to exploit the hell out of it as long as the damage is done elsewhere I guess.
Products made with petroleum are not made with the
fossil fuel fraction they are made with the heavy components
of the oil or other feed stocks .
We will always need petroleum products for other uses , but
not for transportation . Always save the feed stocks for a bigger
and better use .
Lithium is 25th most abundant element on earth...

About 350 years of use not counting on recycling .... Many other metals
be used up before lithium... Batteries have a lot more nickel than other
metals... Batteries from used/crashed vehicles have many uses and will
be recycled in their end life maybe 20-30 years down the road....

Third most common ?
That's because Barney uses "common core" math.......
...... it's "common" that it needs "core-ecting" .
