Justify it however you want. The diesel does what I need and want. Goes a few hundred miles on a tank and fills back up in 5 minutes. I don't give a sh*t if the brakes don't contribute to the energy efficiency of the vehicle. That doesn't make it more viable of a transportation mode.

It also doesn't matter what part of the car the rare metals go to. The fact is you're substituting one rare resource for an even more rare resources. And ones controlled mainly by a single nation. We could have a largely self sufficient fuel system here in America. Instead we spend billions in tax payer dollars helping build China's economy. Because in the end, they're getting most of the money from the electric vehicle fad. The only reason battery makers are moving to Michigan is because they're being paid to. Once the unions drive their costs through the roof like they did with GM, and the government isn't keeping them there with incentives, they'll move out of the country.
