What about the environmental impact of degraded sodium ion batteries?
I'm not going to take sodium mining into account, as there are many ways that it can be extracted, with probably minimal impact, like salt evaporation ponds. I assume it's less destructive than building a hydro dam.
This is not true. Haredi jews were exempt from the draft until last year. And Arabs Muslims or Chrisrians, even if they are citizens, are not drafted at all.
