When we talk "renewables" we need to consider recycling and degrowth principles, it's as simply as that. We can't afford the same number of e-cars, as they need a broader range of metal-based materials, whose extraction is already related to deforestation.

Metal mining is a global driver of environmental change - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Global metal ore extraction has increased almost fourfold since 1970. This Review explores the drivers, patterns and environmental consequences of the growth of metal ore extraction and discusses interventions to reduce negative impacts across metal supply chains.
