I can remember seeing a statistic quoted by John Cadogan that claimed that the amount of carbon dioxide in methane discharged into the atmosphere directly from open cut mining is 20 or 30 times more than what is discharged by diesel and petrol powered vehicles.
He uses this as part of his argument against most EVs and LiPo battery manufacture and disposal.
Mind you, JC really has a bee in his bonnet about all electric vehicles generally.
Apart from that I find him really interesting to listen to.

As the toxic legacy of #OpencastMining in #Wales shows, operators get the profits, and the public get the costs
Across the UK, #FossilFuel companies’ broken promises have left scarred and #polluted #landscapes, and no one held accountable

I’ll be performing This Land is Not Mine at Ars Electronica Festival in #Linz, #Austria
7th September at 4pm, Festival University Stage
In this 45 minute #performance, I play my 7 track album about the region of #Lusatia #Lausitz, famous for #opencastmining and home of the #Sorbs #Sorben. The album tells stories of characters in Lusatia as the mines close down. The rivers, the cities, lost villages all have a voice in the compositions.
I do hope you can join me!
