Norway’s parliament has approved a plan to allow deep sea mining off its coast

Norway’s parliament has officially voted to allow deep-sea mining to go forward in the Norwegian Sea, despite warnings from scientists and conservationists that it could damage the marine environment. This result was already anticipated in December 2023 after Norway’s minority government negotiated a deal with opposition parties to open up the ocean off Norway’s coast to deep-sea mining.
Walter Sognnes , the CEO of Loke Marine Minerals, joins Al Jazeera live from Stavanger.

Like it or not you have to realize that if we finally want to phase out fossil fuels we need more critical rare earth minerals whether they come from a evaporation pond in the middle of the desert or the bottom of the sea.

Stop breeding helps

Stop making equipment that needs rare minerals. Try to create others that have less environmental impact.

Yeah, how about Qatar worry about their own CO2 emissions, Qatar being the highest polluter in the world per capita of population. Do you part before preaching to others.
