Hello Banyan Nation,
When I found out how the battery for my Tesla was made … I nearly fell off my chair.
I’d been told electric vehicles (EVs) like mine were “zero emissions” vehicles … and they were great for the environment.
But after some research, I realized I was hoodwinked.
Clean energy isn’t as clean as I thought.
Since the EV was powered by electricity, I wanted to see what it took to make the battery that was powering my Tesla.
To make a battery for an EV, you need to dig up 500,000 pounds of dirt. That’s the only way to get the minerals and metals — such as lithium, cobalt and graphite — you need.
All that earth needs to be hauled away with dump trucks — like the CAT 797.

This vehicle is ginormous. Just one of them drinks 235,000 gallons of diesel fuel each year. These massive trucks account for up to half of a mine’s energy usage.
So while we dig up materials for EV batteries, hoping to replace gas-fueled cars, each dump truck will burn up as much fuel as 423 passenger cars.

And that only scratches the surface.
Tell me again… how is this good for the environment?
The Real Talk is this: It’s not. It’s just another lie we’ve been told. And I’m sick of it!
I’ve spent the past year researching and uncovering the truth behind this clean energy scam.
Now, I’ve put together a special report with everything I’ve found. And it’s completely free for you.
Because instead of being fed more lies, I want to share the truth with you.
In this report, I’ve also included a very simple way you can profit from what’s happening in energy right now.
Read the report here.
If you like what you see — and I know you will — then please come back next week. Because I’ve got more that’s going to blow your socks off.
See you then.
Regards,
