I can tell you, unequivocally, without a doubt, light and noise pollution are much better than energy shortages.

Yeah, I meant more along the lines of what those unknown problems could look like. For example, whales get very disturbed by sound pollution in the water and I can just imagine that a lot of other animals do as well. Not to mention that we ourselves apparently risk mental health from all the noise in the city. How would that change if we have more electronics at our disposal? Or maybe it'll be the opposite and we can build more quiet EVs.
