I suspect there were the same, tired arguments 100 years ago when some people thought that a motor car would be better than a horse-drawn cart.
We turn a blind eye to the side-effects of extracting and burning petroleum, and the disposal of old cars, tires etc., yet anything involving what (sorry to have to break this to you) will definitely be the near future sends the Luddites into a tizzy.
