The environmentalist lobby doesn't allow or forbid. It has overwhelmingly less power than is projected on it by nuke advocates. Nukes are losing wholly on their own.

Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element on earth. Cobalt demand is already peaking. Copper and nickel have been produced in the millions of tons annually for a century, and will not slow down.

They are happy to support it when it is done outside their own country (speaking as an American)

By the number of downvotes, I'm going to take away the idea that, no, the environmentalist lobby does not approve of the increases in mining required to support going 100% renewable ASAP.

You would have concluded that regardless. And, regardless of any other facts.

It's an honest question, but I would challenge you to examine your response critically.

Cobalt is used in certain vehicle batteries. Are you assuming nuclear isn't going to do this, say by putting a nuclear reactor in each car?
