I read the transcript of this discussion yesterday and found it informative and thought provoking. The points raised about the inadequacies of the neoclassical conceptual toolbox and liberal political thought in general when faced with the corporate power of the internet giants are especially noteworthy.
Unfortunately, my institutional subscription to the NYT limits article sharing, so I hope this YouTube of the discussion is an acceptable alternative.

mk30Apparently we're going all in on disastrous seabed mining: "National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) this week finalised new rules designed to fast-track seabed mining permits.
Under the changes, companies will face fewer hurdles, with the number of required environmental assessments and public consultation periods cut in half.
And on top of that, US officials have announced a minerals survey covering some 30,000 square nautical miles off American Samoa." - https://www.abc.net.au/pacific/programs/pacificbeat/usa-fast-track-seabed-mining/106286288
It's nearly impossible to know the potential ecological effects of deep sea mining. They are going to be disturbing areas that have *never* experienced such massive intervention from humans....these places are the ocean equivalents of old growth forest. And these are ecosystems where all life processes happen extremely slowly (due to cold, pressure, etc.) - aside from places around gas vents. Plus, it's the ocean, so kicking up loads of dust and mixing things around can potentially affect literally all other parts of the ocean as things get moved around in the water.
We just don't know what effect it might have, at what scale, and with what consequences. But these guys are going full steam ahead to extract.
