Tbf there is a resource extraction problem, but that is significantly higher in the "we just need to line Elon Musk's pockets so more people have cyber trucks" approach than the "you can have a good EV for yourself if you want but we also have great public buses and trains running on renewables" approach.
Edit: the book that I mentioned criticizes both approaches and offers an interesting hemp based solution. I think it's right and hopefully China more hops on that train. Anyway, I forgot your original comment mentioned it being "just as bad as oil" which is blanketly absurd.
