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.

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.

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.

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.

No? why would there be a large amount of those in the middle of the ocean far from main shipping lines? There was hardly any action in that area at all. At worst a few depth charges or torpedoes were used there but even if they failed to detonate they would implode from the pressure at that depth long before they reached the sea bed

My question is what is norway afraid of... and who destroyed nordstream? I think it is obvious.

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.

This amounts to bulldozing large tracts of the sea floor. I'm sure it will have no effect on the ecosystem with "proper regulations". 😉

It will not be "large parts of the seafloor" - the sea-floor is the largest parts of the world. Its like complaining about making a sandbox in Sahara being a problem.

Do we really need more resources from earth there is lots but there’s more resources out there in the solar system, asteroids moons, and other rocky planets with the same resources they talk about it would probably be more expensive than going to the ocean, but really we need to work on keeping our planet living so space, exploration and mining of space resources is much better for preservation of earth and we could find much more rare resources than are on earth there’s definitely other resources out there on these asteroids and also the moon has vital resources so we start off with mining the moon and asteroids and then move bigger and greater things
