    As it should. The West raises lots of regulatory laws (good or bad is up to you) that makes it expensive to mine, meanwhile China's CCP doesn't care about hugging trees environmentally friendly procedures. We say NIMBY but we don't care if Chinese children develop cancer, we cannot be responsible about what CCP does to their population, can we? Edit: but we continue to buy made in China gadgets, batteries, BEV's, jewelry, clothes, we don't care about their ecology, right? Wait to see what they will do to the CCZ. Oh, it is deep water mining, no one can visually monitor what they are doing there...

    The thing is, we need the resources. Metals are highly recyclable, but when our cars are to drive electrically and our heating and cooking should function electrically we need more copper to achieve that. And thats okay, because once we have these metals, we can recycle them over and over again and use green energy. Might be 100 years away, but i think it is the way to go. Next thing: The earth is 70% water and 30% land. Even on land our mines take up a very small percentage of space. Highlighting all that ground is misleading, it would take ages to mine that much space under water. I think it is a possibility we need to evaluate. Maybe agree on zones etc, bc fishing can be renewable if you only take what can regenerate. Yes minerals dont regenerate, but the wildlife can if done right. Im all for saving animals from extinction, but i am not naive to think that banning this will solve any problem. Cause remember, the world needs these resources and they will get them. Better highly developed countries like norway agree on how to mine it as responsible as possible, rather than a mine in south america or africa pouring chemicals all over the place, having workers die in unsafe condistions etc. Cause thats what is happening otherwise. China is the biggest producer of rare earth minerals, dont be naive and think they do it more environmentally friendly than we could do.

    Of course it is. Most of those minerals are much more used in EV than with combustion engine can also be used to produce solars and wind turbines. So if this makes EV much cheaper to produce then there is much less price difference in between both types so more people will be wiling to buy EV making less profits to oil companies.

    They are legally obligated to do environmental impact assessments. The requirements are obviously stronger in some nations compared to others, but Norway has signed into quite a bit of EU law as part of its many treaties with Brussels and Norwegian citizens are notoriously "green.".

    There will be absolutely no reduction in emissions from deep sea mining in contrast there will be an increase in emissions as a result. Never once have humans stopped mining in an original location when we find a different source. It will still be mining on land plus now we are mining the sea bed. Then in the future it will be we are mining on land, we are mining the sea floor and we are launching rockets to space to mine X or Y. But the entire time we are continuing to mine every other place we were already mining.

    I'm not sure whether Cobalt is as necessary for the future of EV and stationary batteries as said here (around timecode 5:50). Most new batteries these days are Cobalt free, and this will become more so as we transition towards other chemistries like sodium instead of lithium. Therefore this mining is simply not as important for technological advancement as asserted, the only motive I can make out is pure short-term profit.

    I think you've really buring the lead on how detrimental this will be for the undersea environment. You should really watch Last Week Tonight's episode on deep sea mining, did it not long ago too. Talks much about the very present dangers of the practice and how the seabed authority has conflicting interests in itself. What I don't understand is why we simply aren't putting all of our resources into sodium batteries. It's so plentiful and can be the key to everything.

    There is already a precedent in Pacific Ocean. The tuna population drops significantly when the surface harvesting is done, the disturbance at that scale already disrupt water quality. In that depth, water flow is not prominent enough to disperse the post-mortem, impacting all marine life that heavily connected to one another without our much understanding. The researchers immediately give it a no go after that. But the company warns that "if we dont do it ourselves, someone will do it anyway." That statement will remain open for self-fulling prophecy. The need for under depth mining is because our so called "green technology". The battery is one of the dirtiest manufacturing we ever done. I know it because the process is so toxic, even my country ppl manages to have a big movement, scaring off any future investors XD They are done by China. And I'm not surprised, the mining will be done by China sooner or later.

    I'm not suprised Norway is the one that starts this. Norway is very experienced in experimenting with extracting from the sea and has experienced workers that can fill out all the needed proffesions in seabed mining. Norway has also not been that envoirmentally friendly when it come to mining with Norway being one of the few countries that allows companies to dump heavy rocks into the sea. My opinion on it, i think we should do a test run on seabed mining, a lot of observing of the consequences of gains and drawbacks from operations

    The venn diagram of countries that allow dumping mine rock waste into the ocean and the countries with sharp depth changes on their coastline is a perfect circle. The countries that banned that activity are the ones where mine waste was being deposited at 10m depth and got moved around by surface currents. Norway deposits rock from mines at 300m+ depth which doesn't cause remotely close to the same damage as when you deposit it near the surface. In those cases where mines are located immediately near sharp depth changes the depositing of mine waste into the sea does less damage than a surface deposit would. It is all the countries that doesn't have the option to dump rocks at deep depths that banned deposits in the ocean, the countries that banned that activity literally made no difference, they weren't going to do it anyway as shallow water deposits have been proven to not work. Those bans had nothing to do with the environment and just about scoring some cheap points with environmentalist and letting them think they got a win so that those government could push through other policies.

    You heard people talking about things they know nothing about or you misunderstood them then. Any scientist would tell you we have no fucking clue if it is worse or not which is why they don't advocate for banning mining just for postponing it until we do know whether it is worse or not. People who claim to know anything concrete about the effects of seabed mining are lying, we do not know.
