Not just that, but driving electric cars does fuck all for the climate as long as they're charged with power from fossil sources. For them to make a difference, we would need a sufficient amount of excess green energy at the times when the cars are charged, which for most commuters will be during the night.
I get that, but for me, that is secondary to the human and environmental costs directly tied to mining. And yes, I'm well aware that there are environmental costs with fossil fuels. But fossil fuel use doesn't generally exploit child labor in third world countries.
