“60 Minutes”
Countries that ratified the U.N.’s Law of the Sea treaty are diving into plans for deep sea mining, but Republican holdouts in the U.S. torpedoed U.S. efforts to join in.
“60 Minutes” is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports,…

We are after the gold rush now. Ive spent 27 years permitting mining operation on Federal lands. Yes, there are minerals that are difficult for the USA to obtain in the USA, but like oil there are no shortages of minerals. There are also no shortcuts to obtaining minerals these days strategic or not. If demand is there someone will figure a way to get at it. Days of fast, easy and cheap minerals are over. To think one can go out and dredge up valuable ore with minimal efforts are foolish at best. Perhaps its time for the USA to rethink its vision for strategic minerals production. I would hope it will depend less on getting it from 3rd world countries fast cheap and easy.

Greed will ruin the entire population, before we know it, greed will lead us to WW3!!!!
So whats the rush to be greedy USA? All those minerals already are being mined without deep sea mining. Go ahead and let CCP show the world how aggressive and ill mannered they can be.
China paying politicians to keep US out
Hilarious that they mention China having signed UNCLOS …yet fail to tack on the bit about them ignoring being told by the courts of arbitration that they're violating it.
Go China!
The US, fall behind somewhere…? Theyve fallen OFF…embarassing to be in control of this gov't regardless of who's in orfice.
I couldn't care less about environmental impact. This is way too important of an opportunity to pass up, especially if our geopolitical rivals are using it to take advantage of us.
Yes leave Wakanda alone, go after Naymor and the underwater Mexicans' vibranoum.
Biden is a Traitor!!!
Politicians of USA are ruining the country get #TRUMP24 in soonest.
how is 60 minutes and no one in the comment section aware of the recent news, the largest deposit of rare earth minerals were found in the Wyoming USA, its going to be the world leader, THEN they found an even larger one than that nearby. If we can focus on the technical details instead of taking 13 minutes to attack republicans then we might be able to get somewhere

A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Gotta "mine" for more sunken submarines
PRC is probably funding the Heritage Foundation!
The problem is not China 🇨🇳 the reason of report is because USA wants to be the only one who has to exploiting the natural resources in this globe 🌏
Great
When western media or politician opens their mouth, its always about china…boring!
The decision of being out of the game is obviously coming from oil investor companies, which is a wrong move from congress people, who have the job to vote in favor, if benefits the whole nation, and obviously this does.
We're doomed if America doesn't get a grip and actually do something.. we can't agree on anything
The problem is the enormous cost to obtain it… It'll take a great deal of innovation and inventions to refine and perfect the process
Of course the US fails…
Look at the ridiculous filth running our country
There is little chance that ANY treaty granting the UN more power will pass the Senate.
What else did you expect? The USA hates international treaties, all because of insane nationalism.
The reason we wont ratify the treaty is because this is actually a unique ecosystem. The ocean bottom where these nodules lay is silt and mud. These nodules are the only things within thousands of miles in some cases for marine plant and animal life to cling to. You pull up these nodules and you turn one of the largest ecosystems on the planet into a desert wasteland.
America is on the brink of collapse. A third world country with a sparkly hat shimmering with lies. God help us please
The ocean makes mostly our oxygen now, and yes let’s destroy it. And sell oxygen to the masses in the future for profit. Destroy forests check which makes o2, now destroy ocean that makes o2. Now sell 02 like oil.
again…blame CN for their own incompetence… a bit sick of this
Why the hell do we need a permit from the UN?
What’s interesting is how close Chinas mining operations are to the Americas
One thing is true, groves is a liar.
china's flexing of muscle, building military power and not playing by the rules is the same way other countries viewed America in the past but as a student of history this isn't surprising I just listen to hear the reactions and analyze the times were living in
The planet bats last & the Suns inning is here now.
I wonder how much money those 34 senators got from the fossil fuel big companies. Too much lobbying in the American Politics and policy making, and they say it’s a democratic system !! It’s called buying votes, lobbying kills democracy!!
