How do you intend to move to renewables without massive amounts of mining for iron ore, coal, copper, nickel and other battery metals to aid you?

I like renewables but they are going to mean a massive pile of waste also. They are not a perfect solution, far from it. If you wanted to convert just the USA to fully renewables by 2030, you would need to more than double the current iron ore and copper production, today, for the entire period (10 years) to get there. And that's just the USA. China, SE asia and India have nearly 10x the population.
