So, does anybody know if there is a good source for the environmental problems the alternative "green" power sources cause? The problems with batteries, both ends, first the mining and then the making of those, and then how to dispose of them, and between - how they last. What problems windmills cause, and solar cells?

(And talking about the environment, something unrelated to power generation and the climate but definitely having to do with our environment - those damn disposable masks. Our governments took plastic straws away from us because they are SUCH a problem for the environment, but now tell all of us to wear those masks which end up everywhere and presumably cause much more microplastics to end up in our soil and waterways and finally seas and oceans than the straws ever did...)
