Yeah, I'm not convinced the current generation of eMTBs are particularly green. The guys I go out with are going through roughly a motor each a year. I'd estimate the average lifespan of the current generation of high end motors at 1K-2K miles. Maybe you can get more if you baby it but... That's not acceptable in my view.
Ebikes form an essential part of my commute nowadays. I'm doing around 2K miles a year on one. Due to a chronic health condition and living where I do, I simply couldn't do everything I do without one. I don't have a car though, and likely never will. My recreational cycling remains ebike-free though.
Best bet is to stay clear of the media, social or otherwise. I haven't watched the news on TV, read a paper or looked a news website for over a year now - and I'm happier, and much less anxious about the state of the world for it.
