    As an American, I’d prefer we mine our own rather than externalize our sins to some other region of the world.

    Obviously I wish we didn’t tear anything up, and also wish other countries weren’t turn up either, but if we want batteries we should be responsible

      There’s a fair chance we would mine it more responsibly than if somebody else mines it elsewhere.
