Norway’s Move to Explore $92B of Deep Sea Minerals | WSJ

Between Norway and Greenland lie some of the most valuable minerals on the planet. From cobalt to rare earths, raw materials are needed to drive multi-billion dollar industries such as EVs. These mineral reserves from the deep sea are of huge geopolitical significance as China and a few other…

Rare-Earth prices are in the doldrums. China wants to keep them that way: https://on.wsj.com/3AiRwyU
Trying to frame this as clean energy is absolutely heart wrenching and devastating. I know we need the minerals for our ‘green cars’ but its getting out of hand. As pretty much all the Scandinavian countries know our waters are NOT thriving with fewer and fewer fish being present. Yes some new species are coming back but only because the waters are getting hotter and the species are protected.
Lets try and look into how the richest people, biggest corporations, politicians, ect ect. Live their life and maybe try and reduce their carbon footprint. Im not saying its the solution because its definitely not, but the many yachts, private planes and other extravagant luxuries they have and use everyday wont compare to anything the normal people emit each year..
Start from the top and work it down.
Starting from the bottom classes sure wont solve the problems in the long run…
News update: "China claims ownership of sea between Norway and Greenland"
Nuclear Energy is the only safe and green option, this stupid wind, solar and battery adventure aint green by a long shot…
How dare you drive Diesel car, meanwhile Norway is destroying the life below surface lol.
Norway is in need of some good old American freedom 😅
cutting the branch with an axe…
ever heard about this story?
A lot of negative people basing their assumptions on what? When noone has done anything similar and we don't know the consequences.
Why should Norway destroy the ocean when their main export after oil and gass is fish?
Anytime they say clean power I laugh!
Greedy human's destroying world.😢
These deep-sea minerals are very important to keep the earth's mantle heat from doing harm to sea life. The minerals protect as a buffer zone, to keep heat a way from deep sea cool water. By extracting these minerals, sea life will die from the heat. All throughout the world, the mining industry is making the earth's crust thinner due to removal of minerals! The mantles heat 1,860 Degree-Fahrenheit is working its way to the surface. Temperatures around the world are suffering!
Electrification is NOT greener
Any work offshore takes massive amounts of equipment and fuel. Work completion takes much longer than on land. Especially at depths. So “harvesting” at depth costs ALOT just to harvest. Imagine how much more the final products will cost the consumer when it finally reaches us….
Nah lets goo
Leave the ocean alone smh
the next day of discovery of rare earth minerals, america going to serve democracy in Norway
😢😢😢
Thanks you Norway for being the first in line to destroying deep sea environment after destroying atmosphere and biosphere.
A country whose sovereign wealth fund (from oil money) acting as the leading crusader on ESG investment initiative is working on deep sea mining, how ironic is this
Funny how they related the submarine mining to "clean energy"…
What worries me, is that the conditions in the planet are becoming more and more adverse, not only for other species, but also for us.
Some, few may see a big business and maybe consider the care for the ecosystem irrelevant. But, what if the mining introduces heavy metals in the food chain, and people gets poisoned. Or if the impact by any meaning affects the food availability, the deposition of CO2 , or whatever…
These doesn't make sense to me.
Please, excuse my por English
The year is 2075, the US and Friends are sanctioning Nigeria for it's deep sea mining activities after its was found to negatively affect the planet after the US has been mining the same way for 50 years
Recent research about Dark Oxygen shows that we still do not know enough about the sea floor to comprehend the potential damages seabed mining operations may have. My vote is to protect these areas until more is learned about how oxygen, energy, and mass are transferred through the food chain and how the metal nodules and crusts affect these systems.
92 billions is like peanuts for Norway…just leave this deposit alone and keep precious marine life alive.
Race to the bottom
the audacity to call them clean tech after destroying the envirnonment
