We must remember that the ocean provides 70% of the oxygen for the planet. We still don't know the potential impact on the deep-sea ecosystem, and just imagine the carbon that has accumulated on the ocean floor being disturbed.

The problem is that capitalists don't care about wrecking the planet as long as it makes them richer.

The one who really harms the environment is us, humans.

​@@projector1991 But you for sure like using it, and keep consuming always more of it 🤦‍♂️ Part of the blame is on all of us, as corporations produce what we want to consume. Here's an example. In the last decade, the sales of big 4x4 SUV kept increasing in North America. What did car manufacturers do? They stopped selling smaller cars and hatchbacks and created more 4x4 SUVs. And for this, you can blame it 100% on the consumers. As the sales of 4x4 SUVs keep increasing, then you shouldn't be surprised that oil consumption is increasing as well...

If this is another corporate shareholding business, they’re going to cause damage. They will find the cheapest cost cutting method to extract these minerals at the cost of the environment. They won’t invest in mitigating damage.

Unfortunately, we all benefit from corporate shareholding businesses. If someone can come up with a formula to restrict the massive profits that the big corporations have historically realised, then we all might reap the benefits of research, exploration and exploitation?

@@peteypops that’s “if” we can all benefit from the realized profits. Otherwise we obtain no benefits at all. The average CEO wage has risen over 1300% since 1978. As long as they maintain low cost of overhead which includes keeping wages down, forever if possible. Also includes using profits for stock buy backs to manipulate share prices to artificially increase instead of reinvesting in the company through wages or machinery. I just don’t see how you can say we all benefit from Wall Street when the main purpose of a CEO is to lookout for the best interest of the shareholders.

The oil and gas industry remains THE largest source of pollution in the entire world. Al Jazeera is Qatar's state media... Qatar is an oil producing country and relies on this industry for nearly all its income... It sounds to me that they want to make "green energy" look worse than it is so that we keep consuming oil for as long as possible.

Hmmm, nickel is magnetic. I wonder if that can be used such that only a percentage of the nodules are picked up, in a way that keeps the disturbance very small. I'm thinking this way because a big fat "NO" often falls down in the face of industry and big money, where a carefully-designed "SOME" answer can work for both sides. Many people in those island chains are extremely poor, and some of those governments will give up too much control of their ocean territory because of the needs of their people. I'm concerned that difficult times are coming on this issue.

It’s all well and good drilling for minerals offshore, but how will you mine them once found

The perspective your organization provides is extremely important in the world. I pray that more people, especially the most closed-minded, will be moved by the spirit to pay more attention.

Just fracking but underwater. You take out a key part of the food chain the effects could be broad.

We need to protect the oceans not do more damage. We need to find better solutions not quick ones.

Forget mining. first start cleaning it.

They are not the only company with this kind of business around the world damaging the sea beds that's a huge concern to climate change

Hard no from me, the deep ocean has not been studied enough to just start doin things down there. Several new land based deposits have been found and some battery tech is also being tweaked to use none or less.

I don’t think any scientific research is truly independent…too many institutions have to rely on big business to exist…governments are no better, especially when most politicians have vested interests.

How much have you people extracted from the sea since being offered the exploration license?

No we should not, is my initial opinion. But i do not know enough yet. I will investigate further and form a more complete perspective.

Saline batteries are replacing lithiam batteries. I Googled it.
