A lot of organizations _do_ want to stop digging for lithium for the batteries.[1] Forward thinkers see Lithium (and other rare earth minerals) as a stop-gap to get us off of the more destructive technologies we've been relying on. Yeah yeah we'll always have to do a little digging, but that doesn't mean we can't try to minimize it.[1]
Also, recycling existing renewable resources is another way that Vestas, the largest wind turbine provider, is attempting to pull windmills "out of thin air."[2]
Maybe the way we draw energy will never be perfect but does that mean we shouldn't try?
