Question

Use the internet to research advertising materials for electric cars. Draw inferences from the advertisements about the relationship between electric cars and fossil fuel use. Then, research credible sources to determine if the claims of the advertisements are accurate. As you are researching, think about whether there is any important or relevant information excluded from the advertisements. If so, what information is left out? If that information was included in advertisements, how would it alter a buyer's opinion of electric cars?

Extraction of some of these material resources are linked to significant environmental impacts as well as social and ethical issues.
