Let's ignore the potential environmental impact which there definitely is (they aren't "harvesting", they are most certainly mining, it isn't a wheat field or an Orange grove but strip mining the entire surface layer of the bottom of the ocean) but let's look at the cost per ton for the raw materials, I can't imagine taking a giant robotic dredge dropping it 15,000 ft plus feet into depths of the bottom the ultra corrosive salty ocean then running it around for a few minutes going up and down with it hundreds of thousands of times to lift these materials 3+ miles to the surface of the ocean then using ultra huge commercial diesel powered mining ships to go a few thousand miles to a seaport then to unload it onto a diesel truck to take it inland to a processing plant where it will be smashed, chemically stripped then have to be smelted into rare earths then shipped to manufacturers to be turned into useful products ironically again using diesel trucks it's going to be environmentally friendly or cost efficient. I would love to see the actual figures on what this cost I got a feeling this is a pipe dream. It is one thing to use a grant or a exploration team to figure out what is out there but it is a whole different thing to make it commercially viable. Ask for the Republican senators that don't like the idea of giving power to the United Nations they are absolutely correct. The United Nations is an unelected bureaucracy it's unconstitutional to make any deals using the United Nations. I believe the United States should step out of the United Nations and let it collapse but I digress and that is a different subject for a different day.

I think if there were very few creatures down there and it was a quarter mile NOT 3 it might be worth it. But I wonder about the SHEER COSTS of this being viable. Nickel that they say is valuable here is ALMOST WORTHLESS and big mines in Australia are shutting down because they can't compete with Indonesian mines although we have GOOD reserves fairly rich. Copper wouldn't be worth it but the cobalt would be and lithium has taken a serious price hit. But lifting it all 3 miles up, and THEN transporting the HUGE weight back to an onshore processing plant would be the real cost killer. The salt water being corrosive means nothing. I have understanding in this area due to an apprenticeship I done relating to salt corrosion and protective coatings and other tricks and methods.
@AtomicReverend4 ай бұрын
@@OffGridInvestorcorrosion has everything to do with mining in this case. Saltwater will destroy stainless steel, it will destroy steel, it destroys aluminum, pretty much everything that comes in contact with salt water has a reduced life expectancy so that means an increased cost on the mining equipment, the boats snd everything in that damp environment. Those costs will have to be Incorporated to the overall cost of the material extraction and realistically they aren't miniscule generally speaking. Oil companies get away with oil or natural gas deposits/extraction just because of the volume and the value, (after you get the equipment set up and the hole drilled the cost can be figured out per barrel and every barrel if pretty much 100% oil with little to no bi products. Arguably ship wreck hunters mainly do it for the hobby but they justify it because of the potential value of the materials the they intend to salvage (think of Spanish ship wrecks from 200+ years ago). Now that isn't to say it is impossible to make a profit but it is definitely an added cost that has to be incorporated into the potential profit with this I definitely do not know everything about deep sea mining but the machinery to survive those pressures can't be cheap, add in corrosion resistance, wear and tear, and shipping costs and along with energy costs I would think it would have to be a huge deposit that is extremely valuable in a per ton context. I just can't see lithium, Cobalt or nickel having enough value in the foreseeable future to extract from 3 miles of ocean then ship 2000ish miles to land to refine it. Maybe I am wrong I just can't see it being profitable. I got a feeling it will be untapped / undiscovered on shore mining that will lower costs

FYI a "dead" battery is simply one that has entered an electric state of relative homeostasis. REcharging a battery is done how? By plugging it in, and reverting the ions to a higher energy state. This can be done with a charger, another battery and a correct down-flow setup. In the same way that a galvanic salt crystal battery can be maintained by keeping the anodes and cathodes clean and replacing them and also maintaining the correct salinity, so to can metal ion batteries be maintained or recycled into other uses. Be it fertilizer, catalysts for chemical reactions. Coatings, wirings, reforged into spoons, hell who knows. Your lack of creativity is showing.

Cracks me up that the propaganda is all about the electric car....can we start having real conversations about the disposal of the batteries....and the energy to recharge the the batteries? Oh and the infrastructure parts and pieces that have to be put in place. I yearn for a real conversation with all of the facts on the table.

It will take time, however I am confident that just like the lead acid batteries used in cars today, lithium batteries will eventually be recycled. Like the lead acid batteries, it requires enough of them to become a big problem and thus to inspire politicians and the general public to require solutions. I suspect that nuclear power will be a large part of the solution to charging them.
@mikess14 ай бұрын
@@john_in_phoenix you do realize how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant? 6-8 years. Even if we build enough, they are expensive, more difficult to operate, and their are impacts to the everything around them. That all culminates in a MASSIVE cost to the consumer, in some place the average is 3 to 4 times as high per kwh. If the masses cannot afford the cost of the electric car, how are they going to afford the electricity to charge it, let alone the cost of replacing batteries and tires?

The accurate term is strip mining. From a business point of view it's brilliant, no need to do any surface restoration since nobody without a deep sea vessel will see the results. From an ecological point of view, we don't know what we don't know. I think perhaps a test should be conducted first, say a square mile, then come back in 5 years and do an actual study of the impact.

Not to crap on your day, but here's the issue "The Green Wachos" don't get! Great U get all these batteries from the sea, they aren't self charging! Where does the electricity come from, and how is it generated, to charge them? Geeeee? I dunno? Let me tell you, COAL! IF U drive an elctric car, U merely trade gasoline for the fuel, to coal! Your electric car ain't propelled by batteries, but by coal generated electricity, stored as "fuel" in those batteries! All the solar panels in use today on this planet, could not charge a tiny fraction of the electric cars! Both China and India have no electric generation, they are building it now! Guess the hell what? It's coal fired, 110%,! If solar is the miracle answer, why are they using coal? Since they are starting from scratch, with a clean slate, why not go green? Answer? Cost, dependability! Because every solar panel on this earth couldn't generate a fraction of what they need, and what if the sun ain't shinning? The cost would be so high, it would render any industry, NOT ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE OR VIABLE! Thats why!

You may wish to look up statistics for nuclear power plants being built or planned by China. Not that it inspires any confidence that once again a corrupt communist government is pushing nuclear plants at a massive rate. Certainly the majority of Chinese power is generated by coal. That's why it was so funny that China decided to boycott Australian coal and caused massive blackouts in China.

So if mining is mining and we need the same amount of material anyway then why not mine on the ocean floor instead of strip mining the Amazon? You can't be against mining in general, we need to mine somewhere, what we are trying to do is find the least damaging way and place to do it, having a blanket ban attitude helps nobody.
