History’s Largest Mining Operation Is About to Begin
- throwawaysea 6y agoIt is really disappointing to see companies like De Beers and Nautilus mine ocean beds without a care for all the environmental externalities. These organizations are outrunning regulations, and somehow have also outrun public notice. DeepGreen, mentioned late in the article, seems like a greenwashed version of the same that is anticipating public scrutiny. We need to act fast to put a pause on these activities until we understand their impact more fully.
