The mining only happens once. The materials in batteries are infinitely recyclable.
Oil is single use and the impacts of mining it has caused sooooooo much damage, news agencies don't even bother covering it anymore.
While it is recyclable unfortunately no one is doing that as recycling is more expensive than mining.
