Ok, because I like doing stupid nobody cares research I am doing research on how a hybrid car battery is made from start to finish.
This is proving difficult, I will post links as I find them, this may take awhile so please bare with me.
But my goal is to make a "pamphlet" that can be printed and stuck under the windshield wiper of a car.

i thought you were gonna post the top gear where they discuss the process of building batteries for hybrids from start to disposal as being more harmful long term then a DISCOVERY

 

No, I am doing actual research.
Check this out.

Ok, from what I have found thus far the nickle for the hybrid battery is mined in a open pit mine, basically meaning that they just start removing the earth and sifting out what they want and then dumping the rest back onto the ground.
Lots of heavy off road dump trucks and front end loaders and explosives.
Then it goes onto a train and sent to a ship yard.
Then it goes onto a 1600 gallons of diesel per hour cargo ship and shipped half way around the world.
The it goes onto another train to the factory to get refined and make into a battery.
Then onto a truck to the auto factory.
Then that car goes onto a cargo ship and once again a 1600 gallons of diesel per hour cargo ship transports that car half way around the world.
Then that same car goes onto a train and transported half way across the country where it then goes onto a truck to reach its final destination.
Lets assume that it takes a cargo ship 5 days to go from Japan to the US.
That is approx 192,000 gallons of diesel fuel!!
Holy ****ing **** man!!

 

and ford is calling the turbocharged engines in their new cars,,,

"ECOBOOST"


have you ever heard of a bigger crock of crap

 

Let's not forget the trucks carrying those cars from the ports where they arrive to the dealers get about 5 mpg on a good day. For a short run of 300 miles that's 60 gallons of fuel. Times that by the thousands of trucks making those run each day and the number gets huge in a hurry

 

just be like me and enjoy the end of the world,,,

 

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy
