Nobody talks about it, but imagine if electric cars really got popular. Imagine what the battery disposal problem would become on that scale?
Every new technology has benefits *and* costs.

Do you imagine many people DIYing their batteries? I dont see it as the same problem as your neighbor dumping motor oil or coolant into the sewers.
I do love the short sighted thinking of electric vehicle = no emissions though. I saw a news story of some guy bragging about that. I think it was Neil Young's EV.. big ole 60's land barge with who knows how many batteries in it. No emissions!
