Unfortunately, there is no evidence whatsoever that Kerry, the Squad, Pete Buttigieg, or any so-called “Pro-environment advocate” has any recognition or grasp of how vital the world’s mineral market is to America’s future and how great the environmental ramifications are as that sector is expanded to meet future demand.

I think they completely understand what a pipe dream all of this green energy crap is. These are the same people who talk about "dismantling white supremacy" and "ending the patriarchy". When asked to define these concepts it really is the basis of western civilization such as freedom of speech, meritocracy, independence, and the like. As soon as there is no going back on the transition to electric cars and the like, they will declare mining of those resources is too damaging to the environment and people must stop buy electric cars.

The elites will still travel around in private planes and on private yachts. Normal people will be forced into increasingly crowded cities filled with angry minorities. All the while our options will be to jump on ever more dangerous public transit or attempting to transit using a bike (which must be rented and never owned).

very rough estimates but gives a clue about what electricity is needed for an all EV United States

according to statista for 2020 there were 276 billion registered vehicles in the US. according to statista 2020 electricity used in the US was 3,802 billion kilowatt hours [KWH] policyadvice claims the average car is on the road for 13,474 miles per year. motorbiscuit claims an average an electric vehicle gets 100 miles per 30 KWH

an average EV would need 134.74 x 30kwh = 4042.2 kwh to travel 13,747 miles. so 276 billion vehicles x 4042.2 kwh/vehicle/year = 1,115,647,200,000,000 kwh per year to operate. 1,115,647,200,000,000 kwh / one billion = 1,115,647.2 billion KWH electricity usage for US year 2020 was 3,802 billion KWH electricity needed for all electric vehicles for one year is 1,115,647.2 billion KWH 1,115,647.2 billion KWH / 3,802 billion KWH = 293.43 basically to run all vehicles on electricity we would need to generate roughly 293 times the electricty more than we currently generate now factor in electric heating...

You did the math wrong.

according to statista for 2020 there were 276 billion registered vehicles in the US.

From :

How many registered motor vehicles are there in the U.S.? Some 276 million vehicles were registered here in 2020.
