Will there not be just as much of a carbon footprint from mining materials to make batteries for all the new electric cars?
And all the precious metals that go into making electronics to make that car operate?
Plus the power generation associated with charging everyone’s vehicle.

The batteries are an interesting question, I think it pays off as the time goes on.
Altough, after that it’s definitely much more green. The nuclear power plants are way more efficient than the engines that works with gasoline, therefore they release less carbon dioxide/1 unit of power.
The more you go with your electric car, the more carbon dioxide you save from the planet than if you would have driven the same distances with a normal car.
