Say What? University Study Believes All We Need Is a Super Volcano Eruption To Make EVs Less Expensive

According to recent research coming from Stanford University, the surrounding areas of supervolcanoes might actually hide prized EV elements, such as lithium.

The Yellowstone Caldera, Long Valley Caldera, Valles Caldera, Lake Toba, Taupo Calderam, and Aira Caldera – these are all supervolcanoes, the type of volcano that might erupt with magnitudes of force and spew out more than 240 cubic miles (1,000 cubic kilometers) of masses. Hope that none of them erupts – because researchers also call such a thing an apocalyptic type of natural disaster. And while they’re dormant – some of them are still active, actually – they could help the electric revolution because of their hidden stash of prized elements.

Now - there is a novel idea - lets get Yellowstone to erupt - so that they could get chemicals required to make EVs for Europe. OF course - the USA would largely be completely gone - and worlds economies would be in shambles - and then WHO would have the money to buy the cars?

For a moment I thought TomM was serious.

So we need the Yellowstone Chingadera to blow up so that Elon can build more Teslas?

Universities -the "safe space" breeding ground of modern day snowflake liberalism and free speech suppression should you dare disagree with their leftardish, socialistic dissertations and ideologies.

Time to turn the tables on the asshole universities whom poison our youths mind with complete and utter diatribe and bury them in a mountain of student loan debt for useless degrees that will never land them employment in that chosen field. But like they say -if you can't make it in the real world -then teach it and preach it!
