Killing Off the Dolphins

All those sea-creatures, whether dolphins, whales, sharks, tuna, or itsy bitsy weeds.....GONE!

 

A cargo ship transporting 3,000 cars was abandoned in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday after a massive fire broke out. As of Friday, the ship was still burning. The blaze may have been fueled by the vehicles’ lithium-ion batteries, which are notoriously difficult to extinguish once ignited.

The ship, named Morning Midas, was reportedly carrying 3,000 cars on a journey from Yantai, China to Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico. Of those vehicles, about 750 were fully electric or partial hybrids, powered at least in part by large lithium ion batteries that can short circuit and ignite extremely hot fires....

Those batteries are very ugly when they burn:

... Burning EV batteries release dangerous chemicals including hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen cyanide, as well as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and methane. These leach into the environment. This is the green movement so many worship in action....

Oh--by the way--they want to put schoolchildren on top of those batteries in school buses. 

Ah, yes.  The Green Goddess takes what she will......
