I mean, people were going on about the energy NFTs eat up and those are tiny compared to electric cars.

yeah, it's not a perfect solution. and there's the issue of increased lithium demand creating the same extraction-based issues we see with fossil fuels. but! this creates an opportunity for more public transportation and walk-able/bike-able spaces.
