Lead, nickle, lithium, cadmium and other metals used in the fabrication of batteries don't just mine and refine themselves.
Not enough to please you.
I said it was clean, not "green", and it is the only alternative energy source that doesn't suffer from one or more of the problems I listed... Which you totally skipped.
I know, I mentioned all of them... Do you even read my posts before replying with this nonsense? All of those technologies suffer from one, or more, of the drawbacks I listed which prevents them being able to replace traditional energy sources.
I just want to be perfectly clear, you do believe that CO2 is a pollutant... Yes?
We need to adopt a more expensive and less reliable source of energy in order to remain a world leader... If we don't, someone else will use more expensive and less reliable sources of energy and become the world leader. I guess if you voted for Obama that kind of logic makes sense.
