bullshit

every ICE vehicle -> EV

and then the game becomes moving the power plants off fossil fuels. which is being done

of course mining resources for EV batteries is a concern

much less of a concern than fossil fuel extraction

especially in regards to climate change

that difference matters

of course it's not perfect

as if anyone concerned with magical impossible perfection is thinking clearly or remotely a serious person

@benroyce @GhostOnTheHalfShell @blogdiva there is also the consideration wrt the effects of vehicle exhaust. Unless the power plants are coal, that's a straight up win for the carbon cycle.

Of course the batteries have rare chemicals and extractive companies still come into play. But they are there for vehicles regardless.
