More to mull over

This is a boneyard for electric car's near Paris, France. There's hundreds of electric powered cars sitting and rotting away. These cars are only used by the City of Paris and not anyone's personal vehicles. All of these have the same issue,.... the battery storage cells have given out and needs a replacement. So why not just replace them you ask? Well two reasons. First the battery storage cells cost almost double what the vehicle costs new, and secondly no landfill or disposals will allow the batteries to be disposed of there. So these electric cars are all sitting in vacant lots while their batteries drain toxins into the ground.
Still believing it's a clever idea to go green.
