Seriously?
I hope you're kidding, Ben, but my gut tells me different.
Child labor, as you know, or ought to know, is illegal in most countries around the world, including here North America so tell me why our govt's turn a blind eye to that fact and are OK with it but try to keep that fact hidden from the likes of people like you?

You OK with children dying just so they can pad the pockets of elites of this world who preach how friendly and joyful green energy is?

You have to be one of the most ignorant, dumbest persons I have ever encountered anywhere, seriously.

International Rights Advocates brought the case on behalf of 14 Congolese families whose children were killed or injured while mining for cobalt. The metal is key ingredient in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power most electronic devices.Dec 17, 2019

“Our children are dying like dogs.”

That is the sorrowful statement of one Congolese mother whose son and cousin died while working the cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Every place is different on what is right and wrong. Are you one of those one world government people so we all have to live the same way and follow the same rules?

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like the issue you’re raising is with DRC labor laws more so than with the idea of renewable energy.
