Glass? That is in no way a rare resource. We have alternatives to plastic and alternative battery architectures are being developed from multiple quarters. It’s true that these still have environmental impact but it’s still a huge improvement over ICE vehicles.
Fully agree I only mention glass because it is viewed as an infinitely recyclable material but it really isn’t. We live on a silicate rich planet but even then there is a limit and these are the conversations we need to normalize before we do this same thing to ourselves again with our mass consumption of all resources
That use plastics and rare metals and glass all of which aren’t infinite resources.
Two decades from now we will still be struggling with a climate crisis and these “solutions” aren’t solutions
