Is Green Energy A Threat To Native Americans?

Is this another downside to electric cars that will need these minerals?

"Minerals extracted from the earth help power many of our devices, from computers to car batteries. But what about the communities whose land is at the center of acquiring these minerals? Ali Rogin reports on the fight between companies seeking minerals from these lands and the Indigenous tribes fighting to preserve them."

EV's should go down in history as the most ridiculous concept on the planet.
If I can generate electricity in my back yard, an EV can give the equivalent of around 35mpg, but with electricity generated at a power station, by the time all the losses are taken into account, this can drop to as low as 6mpg
Meanwhile, since my diesel car is mot lugging more than a ton of batteries around, it returns around 55mpg.

I could spend all day on this subject, but I need to catch a train.
I will add more posts discussing different aspects of the stupidity over the next week of so. Many of them will slot into your question.
