Independent of tires, lithium extraction is an environmental nightmare of its own, AFAIK, and if I'm remembering right, all of the fossil fuels used in producing a car make up a full half of the amount of CO2 it's responsible for across its lifetime. Electric cars are PART of a solution, and a small one at that.
