Environmental damage? My electricity is 99% hydro electric and we have a surplus of it.

Very glad to hear it, but the article isn't talking about Canada, and very little mining happens in Canada anyway. It's talking about countries where mining actually is a large scale activity, and those are predominantly dirty grids: US, Kazakhstan, China (before the ban), Kosovo, Russia, Iran.

So I fail to see how your anecdotal experience generalizes.
