Islamists Are Slaughtering Thousands of Christians In Africa But the Media Don’t Tell Us

If 16.2 million Muslims been forced to leave their homes in sub-Saharan Africa due to violent persecution by Christians, we can imagine the news coverage by Western nrews media organisations such as the BBC or The Guardian would feature video reports by excitable talking heads or prited headlines taking up half a page about racism. There would be no effort to be objective or present a balanced view, the two sides in the conflict would be clearly lablled good guys and bad guys.

So why, when Christians are being slaughtered by Islamic jihadists do we hear little about it.

Open Doors, a charity dedicated to supporting persecuted Christians around the world, is currently trying to put the media spotlight on the displacement of this number of Christians in the region by Islamist violence. But it faces an uphill task in generating interest in the developed nations' mainstream media.

To draw attention to its campaign, Open Doors has produced a film featuring Pastor Barnabas, a Christian minister with a large congregation in a displacement camp for Christians who have fled Islamist violence in Benue State in northern Nigeria. Barnabas is shown saying: “Millions of Christians are displaced, here in Nigeria. Millions of Christians are displaced in Africa. The west doesn’t care about it, politicians don’t talk about it, governments don’t talk about it, global politics don’t talk about it. Nobody talks about it.”

One scene in the film shows Pastor Barnabas indicating the tent in which his family of eight has been living for almost five years. Their home is made of palm leaves and mosquito nets with some cardboard evident. “It’s smaller than a double mattress,” he says.

Open Doors reports:

Last year, and for many years, more Christians were killed for their faith in Nigeria than the rest of the world combined. The same violent persecution is quickly spreading across other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, as Islamic extremist ideology spreads: as well as these murders, huge numbers of believers are injured, abducted, sexually assaulted or forced to flee from their homes.

Pastor Barnabas describes the attack by Islamic militant Fulani herdsmen on his family farm: “I was on the farm with my brother, Everen, and his wife, Friday. We heard shooting. We saw people running in different directions. We didn’t know what was happening.

“My brother was shot by the militants, and my brother’s wife was also shot and then macheted and killed by the militants.”

There has been a general lack of journalistic interest in Islamict extremist activity in Africa since the outrages of Boko Haram over a decade ago, as if the horrors inflicted by these terrorist groups across Africa and also the Middle East, and the human rights abuses due to Islamic countries living under Sharia are mere white noise now.

The most obvious reason for that is MSM, no longer an industry dedicted to reporting facts and disseminating information, but now merely the government’s propaganda mouthpiece, doesn’t want people to know the real threat level that importing so many barbaric death cult followers and allowing groups like The Muslim Brotherhood to function openly will have on our Western societies. Fortunately it seems, enough of us are finally realising that for ourselves, whether we like it or not.

The reality cannot be suppressed forever. For instance, all those people who attended the ‘Festival of Diversity’ in Solingen, Germany were of the ”Refugees Welcome” type, and look where that got them. Three people were murdered and many injured after a Syran religious fanatic, outraged by people enjoying themselves at tge festival, started randomly stabbing festival goers, Psycho jihadists don’t discriminate and being a ‘virtue signalling woke idiot’ will not save you.

Another article focuses on the horrendous things going on in Burkina Faso, perpetrated by possible future ‘Dinghy People’. After all, it’s just a numbers game. The more you import from these areas of the world and from this particular religion, the more terrorists and dangerous psychopaths will inevitably slip through the net. We are already living with the consequences of this foolishness, this ”suicidal empathy”. Well it’s not like rigorous background checks are done or anything, is it?

”Oct. 7-like attacks happen almost daily across Africa. In at least nine countries, armed jihadists, following what they believe to be the precepts of Islamist theology, storm villages, and torture and murder innocent Africans. Boko Haram in Nigeria, al-Shabaab in Somalia and the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan are Hamas by different names.
Like the Israelis, Africans have their homes and schools burned. Churches are a prime target. Women and girls are kidnapped and enslaved as concubines, “wives” of warriors, or merchandise to ransom or sell—all to the screams of “Allahu Akbar!”

Not all the victims are Christians; moderate Muslims and practitioners of tribal faiths are also attacked. This has resulted in the displacement of millions of people who have lost their homes and livelihoods. Yet this is generally ignored by the Western “human rights” establishment, possibly because they cannot blame 'white privilege, 'institutional racism,' or 'the jews.'

Out Of Touch Elites Are Destroying Civilised Society Society And Boosting China With Net Zero Obsession And No Plan B

Picture: Daily Sceptic

Andrew Orlowski has written an excellent piece in the Telegraph lambasting the Net Zero ideologues running the UK, who have foisted on a public unable to opt out, a mass of unrealistic, contradictory policies around the transition to 'clean, renewable energy and 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions, that will destroy European economies while reducing emissions locally by moving dirty industry to China, India, South East Asia and Africa. Here’s an excerpt.

Take climate change targets. How good it must have felt for politicians to set those lofty goals, knowing that someone else must deal with the cost and the implementation of industrial policy that exports industry and jobs to the global south and imports low skilled,uneducated peope as has happened in Germany? But now the bills are now arriving, and they’re bringing a world of hurt.

To sum up: Western policy elites have embarked on the electrification of society, replacing hydrocarbons in housing and transport, but without the technology to replace it well.

The laptop elites of Davos who back this transition are not technologically savvy people – they’re fundamentally frivolous people, anecdotalists who yawned their way through their science GCSEs. A squiggle on the back of an envelope will impress them.

They must be astonished how easy the “energy transition” project has been so far, with Maoist cadres of activist investors ensuring the most valuable stuff our economy depends on is left in the ground.

Electrification is a profound change, however, and in practice, means two things. The public is being required to surrender a superior product for an inferior one. And secondly, the infrastructure to transition to these inferior products cheaply and reliably does not exist.

To make an additional rod for our backs, Governments have decreed that a proportion of the replacement energy for hydrocarbons must come from methods that we wisely abandoned in the Middle Ages: the sun and the wind.

Even if we could acquire superior equivalents to a combination gas boiler or a 38-tonne diesel truck, in reality they’d go unused. The capacity required to generate the required level of supply, even expensively, will be absent for a very long time.

So it’s fairly safe to predict that Net Zero will fail – those targets will be missed. But for now, the policy throws up massive contradictions, while resolving them is nobody’s department.

For example, ministers say we need a multiple of the electricity generation capacity we have today. The National Grid says we’ll all have to get by with a lot less. In fact, so many contradictory measures have been passed, that “it is now beyond any minister or civil servant to name them all, let alone understand how they interact with each other,” Professor Dieter Helm warns in his latest bulletin on the U.K. energy industry, published this month.

“The resulting complexity is the prime route to enabling lobbying by vested interests, and the consequent capture of each of the technology-specific interventions,” Helm adds.

Read full article.

One needs only look at the electricity generation statistics published 24 hours a day, every day on Gridwatch.co.uk to understand that we are saved from power cuts almost every day by burning natural gas and importing electricity via undersea cabled from France, Netherlands, Belgium and Norway. Similarly our transport systems are utterly dependent upon oil. Our society without these fuels is about as likely as a hospital without drugs and medicines.

The application of Net Zero Targets, just like Trans Ideology it's not based on a shred of fact , but these pseudo - scientific quasi - religions are readily swallowed up by all our institutions, politicians and big business due to the influence of political, financial, and academic elites and globalist groups like tThe World Economic Forum (WEF), The Bilderberg Group and the semi official World Health Organisation (WHO) which seems to be leading the push to create an unelected, authoritarian global government. The playbook comes straight out of the philosophy of Cultural Marxism, a world domination plan crated by The Frankfurt School in he 1920s. It will fail spectacularly of course, but not before it has wreaked political havoc, trashed national economies, and destroyed the lives of millions. The term 'bunch of little Hitlers' is accurate and not applied to politicians often enough.

It's mostly young people that believe in global warming with utter certainty. And they've been indoctrinated with this propaganda in school since they were very young. They were taught this before they had developed any critical thinking skills so questioning the nonsense was impossible for them. So almost all of them believe it, impending climate catastrophe due to use of 'fossil fuels' is one of the dogmas on which their lives are founded.

And you are not going to be able to change those beliefs in spite of the fact that the science is NOT settled and if we did deeply enough we will always find links between promoters of the climate change scare and people or organisations who stand to gain either financially or politically by appearing to support this narrative instead of challenging it..

This blog has for the eighteen years of its existence doubted the global warming narrative and all the scaremongering propaganda warning of an immediate looming climatic catastrophe and have on numerous occasions reported on publication by independent researchers of data proving the threat of climate disaster is vastly overstated and the effect of CO2 on climate is minim, we have to take the climate change lobby and extremist groups like Just Stop Oil and the Exstinktion Rebellion crusties seriously. There are three reasons for that:

First the great majority of the people believe there is a problem. And that makes it a real issue, even if it there is no verifiable scientific evidence supporting the case of the alarmists..

Second, looking at things from an objective scientific perspective, there is a good chance there really is a problem. I have lots of criticism for the pseudoscientific way in which the universities think about these things, but that does not prove there isn't a problem, we Boggart Bloggers do not believe it is Carbon Dioxide or even man made, but there has to be free and open debate, with the views of groups outside the academic community allowed to be heard in order to understand the nature and causes of environmental challenges.

And third, fossils fuel resources are being depleted faster than the earth produces them, so this is a problem that has to be solved anyway.

Climate Scaremongers Have Taken Over Where COVID Scaremongers Left Off
Boggart Blog can announce that the winners of our coveted Scaremongering Bollocks of The Month award goes this month to BBC News.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a major rethink in the West.

Net Zero Gone With The Wind - Boris Johnson Plans Seven New Nuclear Plants And Shelves Wind Expansion
Reports in mainstream media suggest Boris Johnson has done a U turn on his recently announced massive expansion of wind powered generating capacity.

Who Is Winning In The New Scramble For Africa

As the internecine conflict in Sudan morphs into Africa's latest humanitarian crisis people in the compassion fatigued west heave a weary sigh and get ready to reach into their pockets, wall;ets and bank accounts once more as heart rending stories images of suffering and deprivation flood our media.

Reports of violence breaking out in Africa rarely raise eyebrows in the West these days. chances are the conflics seem far away both geographically and culturally to us and so we feel it has little to do with us, whatever 'progressives' and the woke brigade may deem the West’s historical responsibilities for the continent’s problems may be. But as the recent events in Sudan demonstrate, this is no longer the case. The turmoil unfolding there is of far more importance to us in a geopolitical sense than most previous ones.

While the fighting in Sudan is, on the face of it, little more than a power struggle between the two rival factions for control of the country, there is also an important international economic dimension to this conflict. At its heart is competition between the great powers for influence over the continent — what has been elsewhere been called the “new scramble for Africa”.

In view of Africa's its vast natural resources, including gold, its agricultural potential and its geopolitically strategic location, Sudan has long attracted regional and international power plays. In recent years, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Israel have all been cultivating economic and political ties with the country’s leadership an,d its two warlords in particular.

Russia, however, stands out for its “special relationship” with Sudan. Putin made sure to cultivate an alliance with the country’s former leader, Omar al-Bashir, deploying the infamous Wagner Group in 2017 to provide him with political and military support. More importantly, that same year, al-Bashir signed a military cooperation agreement with Russia which included allowing the Russians to establish a military base along the Red Sea, ensuring a permanent presence for the Russian Navy in a crucial region and easy access to the Indian Ocean.

Al Bashir was overthrown in 2019 but Putin shrewdly switched his support to Sudan's new military leaders and continue to advance Russia's economic and political interests in the region. When considered in the context of China's expansion of commercial and political influence in Africa and other parts of the developing world, and the efforts of Saudi Arabia and Iran to promote their different brands of Islamism, the current conflict in Ukraine can be seen from a different angle, not so much a local conflict as part of a bigger face off between proponents of a monopolar world led by the USA and a multipolar world with economic and military power centred in the east rather than the west.

Africa, South America and parts of Asia have been the scene of Western (more recently US) political and economic meddling and manipulation for generations and the results haven’t always been pretty for the locals as Washington has systematically used the status of the US$ to crush other economic powers. Awkward questions have often been fobbed off with “He may be a tin-pot dictator but he’s our tin-pot dictator”

Is it surprising or disappointing to see that Russia and China can and do play the same game and have been doing it for years. While westrern governments have been pandering to the wimpish bleatings of extremist left wing minorities and pumping aid into African and other impoverished regions the Russians and Chinese have been making deals that benefitted their own interests as much as the places their investments helped develop.

Does anyone still think that nothing happens in Africa unless the US signs off on it? The West is fully engaged in using the cult of climate hysteria to solidify central planning political power. Much of the “science” has been either questioned or de-bunked entirely yet the propaganda and witch-hunts continue apace. It is China and Russia that are securing the supplies of natural resources essential to implement Western eco-diktats like Net-Zero. Are those deals fair and equitable? Probably not. Are they debt traps? Probably. But these deals are getting done and the Belts and Roads are actually being built.

Conversely, I invite you to behold Canada’s narcissistic sock model Trudeau. Canada just guaranteed Volkswagen $13B in subsidies for an EV battery plant. That announcement follows the uncharacteristically frank statement by Trudeau that Canada will probably never meet its NATO spending commitment (he’s somewhat less frank about admitting Canada hasn’t met any emissions targets). He was recently in New York crowing about this deal. The deal is secret (of course) but Trudeau claims Canada is such a wonderful place to do business that VW actually turned down more money from the US (Translation: Canada has made concessions that even the US wouldn’t consider). Meanwhile Canada has large lithium deposits that will endure years of regulatory reviews and court challenges before they ever see the light of day.

Clearly, Canada is not a global player but IMO this sort of reality-defying pretzel logic is indicative of Western leadership right now and clearly the BRICS + countries are taking advantage of it.

German Interior Minister Caught Faking Asylum Numbers To Hide Migrant Crisis

Germany’s interior minister, Nancy Faeser, is trying to fend off claims that she has faked statistics on refugee numbers to hide number of illegal immigrants claiming entry to Germany by posing as asylum seekers since the beginning of this year.

While official figures show only 57,647 refugees have been admitted to Germany, the federal police have registered 101,900 arrivals of undocumented migrants since January, with the federal police data covering only four German regions: Berlin, Munich, Pirna, and Stuttgart. The figure cited by Faeser is 40 percent lower than that reported by her country’s federal police force. Meanwhile, the actual numbers are thought to be even higher when absence of data from other regions is considered.

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser walks through the cabinet room during the weekly cabinet meeting of the German government at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, June 8, 2022. (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber)

Faeser is also being accused of even more dishonest when dealing with of the numbers relating to actual asylum applications. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) reports that 154,557 people have applied for asylum since January. However, this number is 2.7 times greater than the figure cited in the interior ministry’s “Migration Analysis Report.”

Faeser is also under pressure for failing to provide the federal police with October’s migration figures in the “Migration Analysis Report” — the report only includes data to the end of September 2022. Faeser may have incentive to hide those numbers from the general public, as experts believe October saw a major influx of migrants, which other countries like Hungary and Austria have already observed.

Germany admitted over a million new arrivals this year, with approximately 750,000 reportedly coming from Ukraine; however, they are not required to apply for asylum in Germany. Despite Faeser’s attempt to deflect attention from the migration crisis, towns and municipalities are being overwhelmed due to people fleeing the war in Ukraine and a large influx of illiterate, unemployable migrants from Africa and the Middle East who are fleeing nothing but simply looking for free stuff. This has led to 12 of 16 German states to declare last month they could not take in any more refugees.

The controversial interior minister, a typically authoritarian socialist who has called for mass censorship to enable complete government and corporate control of news and information while falsely accusing conservatives of racism, defended her refugee numbers. In a blatant lie she said her ministry only reports on those immigrants apprehended near the border and that the federal police force may be counting duplciate entries. This is obviously untrue, as demonstrated by the difference in asylum applications seen in the BAMF figures.

Heiko Teggatz, leader of Germany's federal police union told the Bild newspaper that "higher figures from the police reflectexactly what my colleagues have been telling me for months.” He believes stationary border control points must be instituted and argues that authorities could then reject asylum seekers who have made an application in another country “directly at the border.”

Food Crisis Imminent: Russia Bans Fertilizer Exports,Hungary Bans All Grain Exports, Effective Immediately

Last week we reported that Russia effectively banned exports of ammonium nitrate, the main ingredient in commercial fertilizers fertilizers and a commodity which Russia effectively controls, producing two thirs of the worlds annual needs. We warned that even without the disruption to oil and gas supplies that will inevitably result from the conflict in Ukraine, the loss of fertilizer production alone will result in a food crisis with shortages of staple foods and rocketing prices in shops.

And as if that was not bad enough, today we learned that Hungary - one of Europe's most grain rich nations - in anticipation of vastly reduced crop yields without fertilizers, has announced that it will be banning all grain exports effective immediately.

Expect wheat prices, already at record highs, to promptly double from here in the next few weeks as the world exists in a permanent state of near crisis realizes the extent of the global food crisis that is coming.

Much of the world, particularly the poorer regions exist in a permanent state of near famine with the balance of supply and demand for food always on a knife edge and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia will push the world's hunger crisis closer to catastrophe. The two countries are major producers of wheat, - and Ukraine has traditionally been known as Europe's bread basket. They are also two of the world's major exporters of staple wheat and other staples, and a protracted crisis with prolonged interruptions in supply chains will result in higher food prices for everybody and hit the poor, who can leat afford to absorb higher food costs, hardest of all.

A Gallup data survey offers some insight into the populations most likely to suffer serious consequences from prolonged disruption of supplies: People in countries reliant on wheat from Ukraine or Russia, where large segments of their populations were also struggling to afford food before the war broke out. Many countries on the list, including Egypt, Turkey and Kenya, are also in the throes of political upheaval with civil conflict having broken out in some. These s ituations can only be made worse if large segments of the populations face starvation.

The first to declare a humanitarian crisis is likely to be Turkey, which imports 75% of its wheat from Russia and Ukraine in a normal year, making it the most dependent on supplies from those countries. In 2021, a slim majority of Turks (51%) reported being unable to afford food in the past 12 months. Turkey's vulnerability is exacerbated by economic crisis and high levels of inflation.

In second place for reliance on grain from Ukraine and Russia is Egypt, which received 70% of the country's grain imports from those nations in 2019. More than 40% of Egyptians in 2021 reported being too hard up to buy food at some time in the last 12 months.

Egypt's economy was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, but when final figures are available it could show positive growth for 2020 and 2021. Inflation is high and rising however, and further increases in food prices will quickly cancel out the small gains the Egyptian economy has made.

Kenya obtained just over a third of its wheat imports from Russia and Ukraine in 2019, below the percentages of imports for Turkey and Egypt. However, nearly seven in 10 Kenyans lacked money for food in the last year according to Gallup, substantially higher than in Turkey or Egypt.

It is unclear how long disruptions in the food supply due to the war in Ukraine will last, though world higher wheat prices around the world have already triggered increases in food prices. For the developed world, increased prices for wheat will likely cause many to struggle with increases in food prices, but these populations will continue to cope. In the developing world, where populations already struggle to afford food, they may result in famine and social upheaval.

Disruption of Ukrainian wheat supplies may prove doubly painful for regions already in food crisis such as The Horn Of Africa and Yemen. Ukraine was the second-largest supplier of wheat to the United Nation's World Food Programme (WFP) in 2020 and 2021. Unable to procure wheat from Ukraine, WFP will likely have to purchase the grain from other, more expensive sources and thus have less aid to provide to those at the greatest risk.

You Must Make Sacrifices To Compensate For The One Per Cent's Enormous Carbon Footprint

24 February 2022

Private Jet versus Luxury Yacht - which would YOU give up to reduce yout Carbon footprint

While the money and political elites are turning up the climate change scareorator way past eleven once more in order to keep populations in a state of fear now that the COVID scare is crumbling, the finger of blame for the doomsday scenarios predicted by climate mathematical models is as usual being pointed at We The Ordinary Punters.

"WE are all in this together and YOU must make sacrifices to save the planet," warn political leaders, clueless academics and the billionaire psychopaths who have bought control of politics, academia and the media. And few people stop to question why WE must make sacrifices while THEY continue to fly round the world in private jets, cruise the Mediterranean or Caribbean in luxury yachts that are more like floating palaces that leisure craft, and live in floodlit, air conditioned palaces that consume more energy than a middle sized town.

Well some of us do question, we are known to the majority as either online journalists or 'conspiracy theorists' depending on a reader's politics, and to the politicians, academics, billionaire psychopaths and people on their payrolls as "that bunch of awkward, really obnoxious bastards who refuse to believe 'The Science' and insist on challenging oppressive policies devised 'for the greater good.'

Thanks to us bunch of awkward, really obnoxious bastards, and the statistics nerds at Statistia it is now becoming widely known that the world's richest ten percent are responsible for an estimated 47 percent share of global CO2 emissions. This has been revealed by a recent study published in the journal Nature Sustainability, which focused on how tackling poverty worldwide would affect emissions of CO2, the harmless but demonised gas without which life is not possible but which has unscientifically been blamed for all the mathematical models of climate related catastrophes in the past thirty years. As Statista's Florian Zandt shows in the chart below, the difference between the poorest and wealthiest people not only shows in their emission share.

ad the lower 50 percent income group only produces about ton of CO2 per year compared to approximately 48 tons per capita of carbon dioxide emitted by the wealthiest one percent.

You will find more infographics at Statista

Of course, the results are different depending on the region. In Europe, USA, Canada or Australia for example, the bottom 50 percent had a higher estimated share of total emissions than the top ten percent, while the top one percent in Sub-Saharan Africa were responsible for more carbon emissions than the bottom 50 percent.

Combating poverty (a goal only committed virtue signallers would see as realistic,) around the world would require an unprecedented level of cooperation between nations and present logistical challenges of a scale never before envisaged, its effects on global warming would be minimal according to the study. Lifting over a billion people above the official poverty line under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 1 would only raise the estimated global CO2 output by roughly two percent, even though carbon emissions in low to lower-middle income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia could potentially double.

However the top ten per cent are unlikely to make sacrifices to reduce their gigantic footprints, and while the high to middle income groups of the developed nations are more likely to respond to the manipulative propaganda of behavioural scientists, even their scope for making a difference is tiny compared to emissions generated by manufacturing industry, transport and agriculture.

"An Environmental Disaster": An EV Battery Metals Crunch Is On The Horizon As The Industry Races To Recycle

from Zero Hedge

If there's one thing about the growing demand for EVs that we have tried to point out over the last month, it's the fact that the rhetoric about the "green" vehicles being perfect for the environment with little consequence isn't exactly 100% accurate.

Just over the last two months, we've written not only about how much driving needs to be done in EVs to make them better for the environment than internal combustion engine vehicles, but we've also noted that EV carbon footprints aren't necessarily as better than ICE vehicles as many people think.

Now, more questions are starting to be raised about the potential unintended consequences of the EV revolution. Notably, how can the metals used for EV batteries be recycled and reused as part of a circular economy before a materials crunch - or environmental impact from mining - negates the "green" label affixed to EV vehicles. That's the question FT delved into this week in a new report.

And who better to make it clear that recycling is an issue than former Tesla executive JB Straubel. He started a company called Redwood Materials in 2017 that is focused on trying to break down used batteries and reconstitute them into a fresh supply of metals for new ones.

Despite EVs bring zero emission while being driven, the "mining, manufacturing and disposal process for batteries could become an environmental disaster for the industry," FT wrote.

Straubel said to FT: “It’s not sustainable at all today, nor is there really an imminent plan — any disruption happening — to make it sustainable. That always grated on me a little bit at Tesla and it became more apparent as we ramped everything up.”

His company takes batteries from old smartphones, power tools and scooters, and turns them back into metals like nickel, cobalt and lithium so they can re-enter the supply chain. His goal is to stop mining from places like the Democratic Republic of Congo, Australia and Chile, and start mining household waste. Straubel says there's about 1 billion used batteries sitting around in households.

Gene Berdichevsky, chief executive of battery materials start-up Sila Nano, noted that there's a material amount of cobalt in smartphones compared to EV batteries: “So for every 300 smartphones you collect, you have enough cobalt for an EV battery.”

Cobalt mining is particularly resource intensive. "Cobalt can travel more than 20,000 miles from the mine to the automaker before a buyer places a 'zero emission' sticker on the bumper," FT points out.

Straubel says that EV emissions can be halved even further from where they are if batteries and metals can be continually recycled.

Redwood has raised more than $700 million from investors to hire 500 people and expand its operations. This year it'll process 20,000 tons of scrap and has already recovered enough material to build 45,000 EV battery packs.

Redwood already has partnerships with companies like Panasonic and Amazon. And companies like Apple are getting on board with the circular economy idea, which CEO Tim Cook aspiring to “not to have to remove anything from the earth to make the new iPhones”.

A circular economy with EV batteries would give the world a significant push forward to meeting net zero emissions goals. Kunal Sinha, head of copper and electronics recycling at miner Glencore, said: “For the world to hit net zero — by 2050 you can’t do it with just resource efficiency, switching to EVs and clean energy, there’s still a gap. That gap can be closed by driving the circular economy, changing how we consume things, how we reuse things, and how we recycle."

As EV adoption grows, demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium will continue to rise. Paul Anderson, a professor at the University of Birmingham, said: “There is going to be a mass scramble for these materials. Everyone is panicking about how to get their technology on to the market and there is not enough thought [given] to recycling.”

A "crunch" for the materials will likely happen as a result of demand surpassing supply, which will take place in 2 to 3 years, according to Monica Varman, a clean tech investor at G2 Venture Partners.

Berdichevsky concluded: “In the future we’ll replace the car, but not the battery; of that I’m very confident. We haven’t even scratched the surface of the battery age, in terms of what we can do with longevity and recycling.”

And it seems EV maintenance costs are not as low as the green lobby and Tesla fan boys claim.
