So you don't have an answer?
My answer is that the difference is too small to matter. In straight energy to refine from ore terms, Ti takes nearly three times as much as Al per unit mass of metal, and the Al one probably uses less mass too, but that's still less than 100kWh difference per kettle, equivalent to about 2000 hot drinks

I’ve often wondered what the energy savings would be if people brewed their tea at, say 92 or 95c instead of a rolling boil.
Someone I spoke to recently drew parallels between Western consumerism and responses to trauma. No matter how evident it is that we’re being self-destructive, we simply refuse to change because of reasons we can’t fully comprehend (on a societal level; there are exemplary eco-conscious individuals here and out there).

Granted hydro power displaces people and destroys large swaths of forested land thereby releasing mercury and other toxins, but it's not as bad as coal or nuclear.
