Your computer contains various metals such as led which also pollute.

Ok, so you are agreeing with me

To make a car go, you have to burn the gasoline. About 10% of the energy is used to actually move the car. The other 90% is lost to heat, and 100% of it is turned into gasses that you breath into your lungs.

Actually more like 25 to 30%

Electric cars on the other hand are much more efficient, converting much more of the stored energy into motion and much less into heat. They emit no combustion gasses because they don't combust, and the batteries can be recycled.
Are Tesla's 100% green? No of course not - but they and other electric cars are much more green than gas cars.

Batteries can combust and no they are not greener because of the carbon footprint it takes to make them.
The op was not about efficiency, it is about all the polluting that is done to make the batteries, try to stay on post, I know it's hard for you!@!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
