MORE damage??
"mining" is oil extraction. Don't try to tell me there aren't issue with oil extraction.
"transportation." Don't they all have to be transported?
"battery manufacturing" as opposed to engine manufacturing?
"Li Battery disposal," batteries are being reused (they still have a good life as power supplies after the rigors of automotive use). Recycling facilities for totally worn out batteries are ramping up. Batteries aren't simply "disposed of."

More "nonsense":

Myanmar's beautiful ecosystem has been devastated by green energy industry

The birds no longer sing, and the herbs no longer grow. The fish no longer swim in rivers that have turned a murky brown. The animals do not roam, and the cows are sometimes found dead.

The people in this northern Myanmar forest have lost a way of life that goes back generations. But if they complain, they, too, face the threat of death.

This forest is the source of several key metallic elements known as rare earths, often called the vitamins of the modern world. Rare earths now reach into the lives of almost everyone on the planet, turning up in everything from hard drives and cellphones to elevators and trains. They are especially vital to the fast-growing field of green energy, feeding wind turbines and electric car engines. And they end up in the supply chains of some of the most prominent companies in the world, including General Motors, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Tesla and Apple.
