Drones also produce a lot of pollution during their creation. Not just at their point of use, but when materials for them are mined, and then when they are manufactured.

So do thousands of other toys, tools, and gadgets. An EV requires about 1000x the batteries and other resources that go into a small drone.

This is a very weak argument against drones.

Imagine a world where everyone flies EV's and there are no roads. Now that would save on infrastructure costs!
