I remember when this was an anti Apple argument, because of laptop batteries. People are just now coming out of the woodwork to complain about things from the EV and green angle, but didn't see these people cry out for the birds when we talked about cat registration and castration where I live, only when it was a thing with windmills did bird lives suddenly matter. Same with EV, cobalt is used in oil and gas refineries, but there it isn't recyclable.
