Wind, solar, geothermal, electric vehicles... The energy all needs to be stored in batteries. And they don't last long. That's a lot of lithium each person is going to be burning through. And mining lithium isn't clean. Also, recycling lithium is not cost effective, it's 6 times cheaper to mine new lithium.
So we're going to have a lot of lithium waste, an element that has a pronounced "mood stabilizer" effect on humans.
Just seems like we're trading one problem for another.
