Oh please! I'd love to see Big Oil shrivel and die just like our societies and very planet have under their influence.
Too bad the lithium battery industry is no better. Those places are child labor slave mines and the environmental damage is astronomical..
This is true but coal mining is just as bad and requires orders of magnitude (mineral fuels) more excavation than all of the other minerals combined. If we can stop mining coal by using renewables the total amount of mining will be a fraction of what it currently is. Plus many of the other minerals can be reused where coal just ends up as carbon in the atmosphere.
Just take a look where most of these rare raw material resources exist and note what attitude these countries have to the environmental cause. Zero, none. Russia, China, Africa https://www.dw.com/en/how-chinas-mines-rule-the-market-of-critical-raw-materials/a-57148375 I bet they won't mind destroying whole local ecosystem just to get extra bucks Europe needs
