“China dominates minerals, but …”: Natin Kamt calls for the secret of the dirty EV industry

Zerouda, co -founder Natin Kamt, raises red flags on the hidden cost of electric cars, and warned that the EV mutation may clean the air at the expense of destroyed ecosystems, child labor, and coal -powered emissions.

In a blatant publication on X, Kamath wondered whether the global rush towards EVS is really sustainable or changes pollution away from view. “Do we transfer pollution from the city’s streets to the hot points of biological diversity?” books.

Kamath highlighted Indonesia, the best Nickel’s producer in the world, accusing him of “Awlasal Paradise”.

Southeast Asia made up 51 % of World Nickel Production in 2023. Mining operations such as Gag and Halmahara have resulted in the removal of forests and marine pollution, and the threat of ecosystems and indigenous societies.

It also turns the lens on the Congo, where more than 70 % of the world cobalt is obtained-often through dangerous mines employing children. “The Congo destroys the societies of children’s work,” said Kamath.

Kamath also spared China, accusing it of monopolizing the EV supply chain. “China dominates minerals that make EVS possible: 90 % rare ground, 75 % lithium, 80 % tungsten,” deployment. While China condemns about 70 % of rare land, its real fist lies in processing – refining more than 90 % of global product – which works mostly with charcoal.

“All this is supported by charcoal plants,” Kamat added, highlighting the paradox that EVS, which was promoted as green alternatives, is constructed frequently and charged with fossil fuels.

“Cleaning streets, yes. But at the expense of the ocean dirt, broken societies, and forgotten islands?” He asked, through a blatant accusation of the first technological humanity mentality: “Our knowledge, we will always chase a” better technique “about what is better for the planet.
