The exponential growth of electric vehicles (EV) means that ICE (internal combustion engine) sales and gasoline demand have already peaked and will be in freefall by 2030.
Your concern about mining volumes for the transition to solar/wind/batteries/EVs may be calmed by Dr. Hannah Richie‘s research on mining volumes for our fossil energy system. A whooping factor >500 lies between the two, making every step of the transition a 500fold reduction in fossil mining.
May the salmon return into his old realms when solar and wind finally make big hydropower obsolete!
Spectacular news!
