Metallic minerals on the deep-ocean floor split water to generate 'dark oxygen'

• jefurii 2y ago
  If these things are oxygenating water in the ocean depths, maybe it's a bad idea to mine them.

    But that doesn’t create shareholder value, thus, as capitalists we must exploit it! /s

      Maybe we can transition to some ad-supported deep-sea oxygenation.

  Battery electrolysis of h2O into o2 and h2 that these engage in need a consistent power source. Either the power source is the core of the earth spinning, or there is some electrical something making these nodules consistently split. I'll be curious about it, but I think that climate change may slow more from lower cost land surface batteries than these electrolysis water splitting batteries and associated ecosystems. Aka I won't hold my breath... ba dum tsss
