I can't tell if you're whining about developing better batteries or if you are just poo-pooing alternate energy sources to convention fossil fuels.

You seem to be making the argument that if the batteries last longer, then there will be a reduced amount of mining.
But the benefit, the
point, of having more efficient batteries is that they can be a larger part of the solution for cleaner energy. That means
more mining, not less. Much more.
