Electrification reduces the amount of mining and extraction and transport so if that's your focus you should be excited for this.

The key difference being that once you extract it, you can first re-use it for decades, then recycle it. Whereas with fossil fuels you need to continually dig up more to replace the ones you burned and vented into the atmosphere then ship it to where it is used.
