Your future tech may rely on deep-sea mining

[dexter]

As the demand grows for the metals that power electronics, we may have to look farther and farther for mining opportunities. The next big mining frontier is the deep sea: along the seafloor, mysterious vents shoot scalding hot fluid into the ocean. These vents are a haven for miraculous and unique sea life, but they’re also home to highly concentrated (and very valuable) metals. What happens if we decide that the metals are worth more than the life?

Yeah! Deep Sea Mining means ........> End of Aquatic/Marine biodiversity, poisoning of Worlds Oceans and ultimately end of Human life as well! The greed and lust of humans is responsible for the death & destruction of "once so serene" planet Earth.
Wealthy Few, Poor many!
There is enough for everyone's NEED, but there isn't enough for everyone's GREED!
