[quote:Anonymous Coward 80983294:MV81MDgyNzY1XzkzMTU2NTU1X0VBQTY2MkUx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 75637716:MV81MDgyNzY1XzkzMTU1NzMzXzQ0QUUxQkQy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79281006:MV81MDgyNzY1XzkzMTU1NDUwXzg5QkI1M0I3] A cubic yard of stone weighs 2700 pounds on average. 500000 lbs / 2700 lbs = 185 yards of stone. 185 / 3 = 62 Sqrt 62 = 7.8 ft The result is a rock 8 feet wide by 8 feet long by 3 feet tall. About the same size as a car. Ops an idiot. [/quote] And ALL of the machinery involved in digging, excavation, transportation of the dirt, processing equipment, separation equipment, refining equipment, and all of the byproducts of each of those steps (including the eventual hazardous waste disposal) uses diesel and plant generated (usually by coal and/or nuclear) electricity. Assuming a lifespan of 10 years on a lithium car battery, it's 7x-8x more of an impact on the environment (when you consider all the above) than it would be driving a modern gasoline powered car for those same 10 years. [/quote] I doubt it's 8x. As if steel and plastic isn't refined.. As if gasoline isn't refined. [/quote]
