@bascule well, rare metals do have higher impacts per gram compared to fossil fuels, but given the amounts extracted, the overall impact is indeed much higher for fossil fuels.
One just has to see a coal mine to understand the scale of impact we're talking about.
But I'll talk in more details about that when I get to the notions of "ecological rucksack", material requirements and flow analysis, etc.
