Are Electric Vehicles really clean?
They run on dirty energy and blood of children as young as 6.
Electric cars drive human rights abuse and child labour.
China is one of the villains in this story.
Are electric carmakers equally guilty too?
Palki Sharma Upadhyay tells you.

I've heard a thousand times about the terrible EV industry and how they are responsible for artisanal miners risking their lives to mine cobalt. What I virtually never hear is concern about the poverty that leads them to risk their lives for a small amount of money. Destroying cobalt demand might prevent people from working in artisanal mines. But it will not keep them from starving. The truth is, the country has a valuable resource which should translate into economic prosperity. Why isn't it? It's because all of the profits are going out of the country to China. Why does the government allow the country to be robbed like that? It's because government leaders sell out their country for bribes. What should happen is the government should charge a hefty royalty on the mines and the proceeds should be used for economic development. They should also ban those Chinese companies from buying ore from artisanal miners. Pinning the blame for artisanal mining on EV companies is like blaming anyone who wears clothes for the child labor sweatshops in Bangladesh.

Thank you!
Thank you for bringing this story to light.
Look at the internet for wat now is going on. Gothenburg 12 000 years ago, Lake Mungo 24 000 years ago,Mono Lake 36000 years ago, Laschamp 48 000 years ago, Vostok 60 000 years ago, Toba 72 000 years ago so you see every time at the same ritmen it happens just like now on this moment with the same remarks. The clock is set and possibly this civilisation wil vanish. They don't want you to now. Study and be prepared.
You can not believe it look also at Magnetic Reversal News.
One of the many reasons why I wont ever purchase an ev vehicle
Lithium – Afghanistan 🇦🇫
I miss my wife here in pink ❤
When Russia didn't invade Ukraine.
Palki said, no war yet, "just another boring day" so palki only dark skin people matter?such rascist Indians
Very sad state of affairs at Congo Very poor working conditions of miners. Why not refer to UNO
Amazing
Very sad and unacceptable.
Electric greed. Not as inexpensive as advertised…
electric car scam 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Seeing this makes me sick
Maybe a few Tesla owners should be thrown down these mines or even the governments that are pushing this agenda making people believe its a clean option
Keep your old beater instead of living your vanity over sanity lifestyle
Look
One of the many reasons why congo will never be conflict free
is it me or is this actually good reporting? I am so used to all the "Opinion News" and this seems much more factual.
excellent reporting Madam
Where is the DRC government in the provision of labour standards? This is such a tragedy, needs to change..
Once again the powerful multinational corporations and powerful business and governments are creating fabulous wealth and paying a pittance and creating injury and suffering to desperate children and their families as they try to eke out a existence in poverty driven countries.
These businesses and the car manufactures that allow this slave labour to continue must be publicly exposed ..
Thank you for this. Please post more truth…the world is beyond ready for it..!!!
Australia is next
Gohosbioweeds
We as Africans we are fools case close we selling our ppl corruption is tomch in Africa mxm
Elon Musk! Do something then publicize it .
That’s why “they” caused a regime change in Bolivia (Evo Morales) – to have (cheap) access to their lithium mines. The dark side of capitalism.
Thank you so much for this fact filled short documentary. I have known that electric (EV'S) are a scam promoted by big political investors such as the Pelosi's, Biden's, and the other 76% politicians that are pushing everyone to buy them. It is a scam!
Did I here somewhere that Biden is a major shareholder in this too ?
En principe les grandes puissances mondiales devraient protéger notre pays le Congo plutôt qu'etre aussi dans le jeu de nous déstabiliser et de nous rendre de plus en plus pauvre en se mêlant dans la corruption avec les élus du peuples et certaines personnes dans la haute sphère du pays. C'est triste!
whats the real problem with these congo people…lack of education? ..lack of government? why dont the congo people start taking control of their own fate, are they expecting a god to intervene for them just like parents? it is slavery because way down the line they have the approval of their people. Why dont they fight for world recognition…feeling sorry for them will amount to nothing gained. Really what is this woman hoping to accomplish by using Jesus tactics? poor oppressed people. would you donate a large cardboard box so that they can have a home to live in? If they choose extinction for themselves, you cant help them. Now, lets move onto to the subject of beautiful Chinese women.
does she work weekends in massage business?
Not just that no one wants to recycle them we have left over lithium batteries from the 90s which never have been recycled because it's too toxic for water and the environment.
Also one pack batteries for one ev uses the same co2 as running a petrol vehicle on E10 petrol for 14 years ev batteries don't last need replacing at least twice.
Also the motors of electric vehicles produce radiation EMF which can cause leukemia autism miscarriage
Electric cars are a scam, they are used to control people. When you get your battery replacement light message, they will shut your car off until you replace it. And the human exploitation is abhorrent.

There’s no solution to corruption, the human race needs to be eradicated. Every human on this planet earth needs to die,PERIOD!!!!
Your story is more about to fustigate China and less about blood battery , rather you should have criticized the multinational imperialism and exploring capitalism.
