Ed and I caught up after the last of Americans For Prosperity's epic run of blogger conferences marked the end of an era!! So much has happened since then, now we are both in very different places, yet still much the same.
We discussed CNN and the New York Times discovering electric cars need lithium batteries and mining it could destroy their precious god, mother earth! Also, leftists have a newfound hatred of Elon Musk and that hate is kind of next level with hints of TDS mixed in!

- Now it's CNN: Electric cars could "wipe out this species" – HotAir — First the New York Times warned about the environmental impact of transforming America’s vehicles to electric. Now CNN reports on the devastating consequences of the mining that such a transformation would necessitate. Environmentalists want to save a species of buckwheat from extinction, an issue that would be largely academic except for the need to produce billions of batteries to replace gasoline:

How can they win? The answer, conservative columnist and analyst Ed Morrissey says, depends on seven battleground counties in swing states Republicans must win.
