The rush to 'go electric' comes with a hidden cost: destructive lithium mining

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. True, but ... is it really worth it?

People aren't talking enough about what 'going green' will actually entail, esp with regards to mining expansion and land use.

Many people think it's this obvious panacea that is only not happening because of the greedy fossil fuel companies ... but it's a lot more complex than that.

IMHO the only way out of this mess is negative population growth, people worldwide accepting that the days of plenty are over, and getting away from a world economy based on perpetual growth.

No way are we maintaining our current average standard of living and population expansion while simultaneously significantly reducing CO2 the way we need to to avert climate catastrophe.

Not without some technological miracle, such as viable Fusion reactors.
