The EV revolution is a lie.
A billion-dollar scam wrapped in green.
Beneath every electric car, thereâs a grave,
of rivers drained,
children buried in cobalt,
forests burned for lithium.
You didnât buy a vehicle.
You bought silence.
They said it was green.
They said it was clean.
They said it would save the planet.
You said yes.
And somewhere,
in the Atacama desert,
an aquifer dried up.
500,000 gallons of water
for just one ton of lithium.
The land cracked.
The soil vanished.
The silence screamed.
But you didnât hear it.
You were too busy charging your car
and charging your conscience.
They said youâre a hero.
You believed them.
MeanwhileâŚ
A child in Congo carried cobalt on his back.
His lungs blackened.
His hands blistered.
His childhood buried beneath battery-grade ore.
70% of the worldâs cobalt.
Extracted by Underprivileged children.
So rich could drive silently
through carbon-neutral neighborhoods.
But you didnât see that child.
You saw a shiny dashboard.
A tax rebate.
A badge of virtue.
And you kept driving.
You said, âIt has zero emissions.â
But your electricity came from coal.
72% of Indiaâs power is still coal-fired.
So tell me, what exactly are we stopping?
You said, âItâs the future.â
But your battery flew across continents,
mined in Congo, refined in China,
assembled in Germany,
shipped to India.
Each stop guzzled fuel.
Each mile burned carbon.
Before your EV rolled an inch,
it had already scorched the sky.
You said, âItâs progress.â
But CO2 emissions hit record highs in 2023 - 24.
You shifted pollution.
You didnât erase it.
And hereâs the cruelest twistâŚ
The earth didnât get cleaner.
Just⌠quieter.
The screams were outsourced.
To lands youâll never visit.
To faces youâll never see.
You bought an idea.
But they sold you a script.
Battery Companies.
Car Manufacturers.
Governments.
Think tanks.
ESG funds.
They all played their part.
Billions made.
Consciences sold.
Truth buried.
And now?
We have zero tailpipes.But toxic landfills.
We have subsidies.
But no recycling.
What we donât have
is a cleaner planet.
But we have a dirtier hearts.
What we also donât have,
is the courage to admit it.
So I ask you:
When did we confuse silence for sustainability?
When did we let privilege define what "green" means?
When did we crown corporations the gods of climate?
Maybe the real question isnât,
âAre EVs clean?â
Maybe itâsâŚ
âWho gave them the monopoly on truth?â
This isnât a war against EVs.
Itâs a war against blind belief.
The planet doesnât need more machines.
It needs more conscious humans.
Humans who ask harder questions.
Who reject the convenience of guilt-free consumption.
Who choose truth over trends.
Maybe that starts with us.
Maybe that starts with this post.
Letâs stop mistaking branding for salvation.
And start reclaiming the truth.
Even if itâs covered in dust and blood.
Even if it breaks our hearts first.
Because only then,
can healing begin.
Remember Compassion towards all and if world human dont adapt fast we will be Extinct in our lifetimes.
