Greenwashing for electric vehicles means a new push for disastrous open pit copper mining
NPR points out that copper is needed for electric vehicles, during today's interviews with Apache battling to protect Oak Flat, from Resolution Copper's planned mine.
Lithium and copper mining are now threatening Native ancestral lands throughout the west. International corporations are rushing in for the green -- that is the green money from mining. Electric vehicles are the new fake green solution for protecting the environment.
While copper mining threatens Apaches Ceremonial Grounds in Arizona, lithium mining targets the Paiute Massacre Site at Thacker Pass.
Around the world, Indigenous children are already suffering, and dying, from work in the copper and lithium mines.
