BATTERIES - Environmental damage
Yes, mining of materials for batteries is damaging. However, soon, there will be the recycling of existing batteries (cell phones and car batteries), and the cost of the recycling is a faction of the mining cost. Good business sense will drive the recycling and the mining of materials will no longer be required.
The EV Batteries are really good and getting better and less expensive:
