Energy usage isn’t the only thing to be concerned about. There are resources that have to be extracted, and non-recyclable waste piling up in huge quantities.

Seems like a fine fruit to pick if you consider broader environmental impact.
(Also, we can do multiple things at once. Burning an extra 36 gallons of oil if you don’t have to is still bad.)
- Tade0 3y agoI want to agree, but fossil fuels are generally non-recyclable and extracted on a much larger scale. I mean, global production of cobalt - a highly controversial material - is around 200k tonnes. By weight this is approximately 1.6% that of daily oil production - 90mln barrels a day.
