The Green Endorsed triple baseline accounting companies buy the raw materials for the EVs, Batteries and SolarPVs of those Indonesian mining operations, all the while claiming that the products they make(EVs, Batteries and SolarPVs) are responsibly sourced and environmentally sound. It's bogus economics because the true cost isn't included, the true cost is NIMBY!
Why am I not surprised to find the opinion of mining, or the opposition to it, changes subject to the perspective?
Good luck to those resource companies but beware the hand that feeds you, you are about to be strung up as the enemy the moment a better alternative is found and you'll be accused of a deception as part of the process. Ignorance is bliss! :
