Lithium batteries for cars and trucks

Lithium ion batteries consist of highly toxic, second generation N-doped cadmium telluride and cadmium sulfide, both of which are being crushed and 90 % dumped into landfills in the State of California.
I would never recommend the use of toxic and highly explosive (when shorted) EV batteries to anyone.
This has all been published by semiconductor physicists, toxicologists (even published on NIH), and professional horticulture professional journals. It is not "new" knowledge or science.
People in political positions that have no elementary science background ignore facts about lithium batteries to the detriment of people they vowed to serve.
Recycling lithium batteries is far more complicated and expensive than recycling a gasoline car’s steel gas tank.
