I live in africa next to a cobalt mine in the south east of Morocco, and let me tell you that deep sea mining seems to me more sustainable than onland mining

The market price for 3000 tons of polymetallic nodules would vary depending on the location, the grade of the nodules, and the current market conditions. However, a rough estimate would be in the range of $100 million to $200 million. Here is a breakdown of the potential value of the metals in 3000 tons of polymetallic nodules: Nickel: $40 million to $80 million Copper: $20 million to $40 million Cobalt: $10 million to $20 million Manganese: $5 million to $10 million Molybdenum: $1 million to $2 million Zinc: $0.5 million to $1 million The total value of the metals in 3000 tons of polymetallic nodules could be even higher if the nodules contain high grades of the metals. For example, nodules that contain 1% nickel or more could be worth up to $500 million per 3000 tons.

Would love for Apple to take on the Apple mirror for home products or some type of projection system like in the latest total recall movie with Jennifer Beal.

Plus: great newceconomical source for materials (although specifically costs were largely unaddressed Minus: loads of global warming scare stories long since debunked like the barrier reef is dying. CO2 is great for planet. It grows plants and feeds us and the research says we're in a historically low period.
