The batteries are problematic as well, as they're toxic and if they end up in a landfill, it poisons the water table.

Hydrogen will alleviate all of that and be more efficient, but there's been no significant investment in it.
not to mention foreign relationship issues. the exotic metals in battery's all come from 3rd world countries. and the new charging tech that's faster kills a battery after 60 cycles I just read.
