Why does nobody talk about the landfill secret behind electric car batteries?
Electric cars are pushed as clean, but old batteries end up in dumps overseas. I read a report that showed most recycling claims are just for show.

Remember my friend's dad had an old hybrid, and when the battery died the dealership just said it gets shipped out. He tried to ask where, but they got all vague about "responsible partners" overseas. Later we saw a documentary showing kids picking through battery waste dumps, and he got real quiet. I mean they sell you this clean future thing but don't own the dirty end of it. That stuck with me.
