Applause for waste?

The Number of Tesla Powerwalls Required That Would Address the Current German Dunkleflaute Event.

The specifications say that each Powerwall® weighs 114 kg, meaning that 30,369,600,000 kg of Powerwalls® would be required just for Germany.

According to Forbes, 15% of the weight of a Tesla Powerwall is cobalt, mined by Elon's happy Congolese slaves, meaning that the happy Congolese cobalt slaves would be required to mine and isolate 4,555,400 metric tons of cobalt to make Powerwalls® to cover this instance of Dunkleflaute with batteries.

This is 31.63 times as large as the world production of cobalt in 2021 according to the US Geological Survey

I'm sorry!!! I forgot to use "percent talk!" The demand for cobalt to cover month long Dunkleflaute in Germany observed in Nov-Dec 2022 would be 3163% the demand for all the world cobalt supply in 2021.


Should we wish good luck to the racist, fascist thug Elon in his hopes to find the number of cobalt slaves to increase world demand for cobalt by 3163% so Germany can pretend it's "green?"

Every battery manufactured in that plant will be electronic waste in less than 25 years.
