Here is the latest "green agenda" prediction:
Global battery and minerals supply chains need to expand ten-fold to meet projected critical minerals needs by 2030, a report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) has found.
The report concludes the industry needs to build 50 more lithium mines, 60 more nickel mines and 17 more cobalt mines by 2030 to meet global net carbon emissions goals.

No, we don't "need" all these mines.
What we DO need is a credible comparative study showing which "problem" is the most serious:
- carbon emissions too high,
- groundwater contamination too high, or
- human population too high.
Then we need informed public discussion and approval of what we should do.
Leaving such choices to the scientific-technological elite is a BAD idea, especially because they openly call us "useless people".
