Garbage trucks aside... I truly wonder what will be happening to all those vapes thrown into the countryside when they degrade eventually. Will we have regular fire seasons due to corroding batteries?

  • There are lithium ion batteries everywhere. I keep wondering about this all the time because they are just time bombs everywhere. I don't just mean in the dumps or at the sides of roads either.

    How many people have a bag of old phones sitting in their attic or a gazillion other things that have embedded lithium ion batteries in them that will have to off gas one day?
