The "nastiness" also usually lumps in phony, pearl clutching concerns about human rights abuses, as if those issues aren't inherently capitalistic and present in the existing fossil fuel extraction, processing and use life cycle. One example is the "epic" Joe Rogan clip that was making the rounds late last year. I'm sure lithium production is "nasty" but it can almost certainly be done more responsibly (especially on the labor front) and it can also be recycled once it has been extracted. This narrative reeks of big oil propaganda.

If anything, killing humans would probably be a benefit from an environmental standpoint (at least on Earth)...
