Would you say that lithium mining is more or less ecologically damaging

than repeatedly harvesting, transporting, refining, transporting and then burning oil? Also, wouldn't the fact that you're mining the lithium once (plus any impact of power generation to recharge) vs a repeating cycle for fossil fuels make it fairly advantageous?

That's not snark - I'm genuinely curious as to your experience with lithium mining.
