- Manganese nodules do look like carbonized cauliflower and are supposed to be the new source of iron for our technologized society. But them lying on the floor of the Pacific, approximately four kilometers deep, poses a big problem.

What a sense of humor, as the gravity corer smashes into the ship, the narrator goes and the work with the gravity corer is precise work.
Never understood why gold is such a 'precious' material, we can't drink it, we can't eat it. Give me fresh clean water every day of the week.
6:09 random shot of a Japanese school girl on a train 😅
Get those lovely lithic lumps. (9:25, 14:10, 28:38)
22:15 Cover story.
33:00 Ecosystem impacts.
17:24 Curly guy is dubious about the whole thing.
Matthias wow what a guy I swear he proved all the points we need to take .
looks like the least environmentally damaging technique of mining.
Someone needs to flip the gold counters table, again.
Yes
49:13 had me saying "you didn't just say that year"
Seagulls flying around the ship must be like : Wow, these fishermen suck 32:10
I've been hearing about this "next big thing" since the '80s. Still waiting.
Yeah lol. Been in the transistor age for 70 years now. Its great how mechanics and technicians have put our living tv's into our hands but it's not nearly the next big thing advancing that propagandize it to be.
Rare earths are extremely deadly resources.process
@@dadsonworldwide3238 What's your solution?
Try cleaning your ears out old man
@@Mrbfgray remove the prohibitions against different schools of thought for our kids .
Many learn in pictures but we teach in words.
The most idealistic and pridefull among us call bull shit and they fit in with the education fiteration & recruitment model .
We don't have enough ability to be skeptic of one another models so it's hardly any challenges to then unless it comes from.the private sectors
@@dadsonworldwide3238 Different topic but I can't argue with that. Government 'solutions' are generally wrong and private sector responds to it's clientele efficiently.
Very good documentary!
Commodities are real wealth.
One of the sample labels says 2105, so is there any update on this
Yeah🤔
Question can this be done with out damage to the environment and the ecosystem.
WE have to question the value of this, when we spend all our time destroying the metal-dense weapons of war...

4yrs? I'd rather we push for the minerals in space, rather than those in our oceans. Our planet has sustained enough damage.
this is terrible....I feel depressed just knowing this activity is even being considered
There is plenty of research being conducted by research vessels & marine biologists, Okeanos, Falcor, Nautilus, ONC have all been exploring the deep sea floor & bringing up nodules & sea life. All are online on TH-cam, live dives into the abyss. Interesting to see a documentary on the subject. The expense to bring these up from such great depths far outweighs profits. Maybe a good idea to wait till 2077, other natural & manmade events could wipe out life as we know it by then
Totally agree with you!!!
I'am really scared for my daughter & grandkids, they are not going to enjoy planet earth like we have & everyone else before us..
We dont have the time!!! That's a fact people they are just going to keep drilling for more gas,oil, as we speak they are fighting over the north pole.
The people that have giving us this life style the rich & powerful that we made them that way with our hard cash, they are just to greedy to stop.
They lie to us all the time with carbon neutral BS, by the time if we do get to carbon neutral as of right now there would be billions, upon billions of tons of more carbón in the air, water, we are doomed....The six mass extincion is happening right now as we write here, & the ones in power that can really do something about it before It's toooo late they wont, they talk about 2040, 2050, 2100 we wilm be dead by then...
GOD bless you always my beautyful people, lits of Blessings to you all from puerto rico with lots of love
More alarmist BS.
Good stuff is on this channel
Great history 👍
Thanks!
I wish I had a say about them mining up OUR planet and risking God knows what! It makes me feel so hopeless 😔 Wish humans were not like a cancer just destroying our beautiful planet. 🌎💙
If you ride a mule to work then so will I. Until then the cancer as you call it requires fuel.
I am glad that you do not have a legitimate say because you are so self-righteous with your irrational fears. Humans are not a "cancer just destroying our beautiful planet."
There is a skeleton crew on board 49:23 and companies in 49:23
So, I guess that Glomar Explorer wasn’t such a BS cover story after all😉
But wait...We are not done ripping apart Alaska yet.......

Nice
A corporation should be allowed to mine the sea floor only if 95% of its assets and value are based on fishing in that area. To estimate roughly, a company with one small mining ship would need 19x as much tonnage in actively used fishing vessels, 19x as many employees involved in fishing as are involved in mining, etc. So if the company does anything to ruin the sea environment, they will also be destroying the value of their fishing assets.
That should be the very first restriction, not the only one. But you need the miner to care more about the environment than anyone else does. Only then will there be any chance they abide by regulations to protect the environment.
I agree with your idea! But many of the people, won’t be around to see the long term effects. They would have to care about a legacy fishing that area as well.
Hi, please pass this on to those who are in charge and looking for new cutting edge technology. I think they will be very interested in being able to concentrate or sort or filter particles from 10 nanometers and up to 100%. The technology works with media such as air, gases and liquids.
We will destroy the seas just as we are destroying the land.
I'm a cannabis smoking activist that hates all rules but I also need prices of EVs to come down because I am low income and spend all my money on junk food. I'm currently 563lbs and cannot see my own genitol. I am conflicted. How can I access cheap goods but also virtue signal to other female activists so they will allow my copulation?

I've been reading articles about this since I was a kid in the 1970s 50 years ago. What are you waiting for, fusion?
Waiting for the ocean to die, or they will kill it, for sure!
They recently discovered that the Fukushima meltdowns have made the minerals and the entire ocean floor RADIOACTIVE!
I want to watch this but it seem pointless we need to stop the arctic from speaking trillions of ton of methane. But noone want to talk about it.
..lawa.nya..
Not for Stockton Rush it ain't.
Nauru 😅😂😅😂sold their souls for what 😅😂😅😂funny 😅😂😅😂
Whos paying these pioneers
Wind is earthly friendly 😂😂😂😂😂. Someone hasn’t done any research.
Spy's like the us.. manganese nodules...lol
What we gona keep taking till there is nothing left then live in a world that we have destroyed... Need to figure out a better way we are the destroyer of worlds
Glomar Explorer
No mining!
Good way to increase production is to bring back child labour. Cut school to 20 hours a week then 20 hours a week of work booom
2077 This dude is demented if he thinks we will be here living live he says in that year, if by. The gracenof god we are still here on earth we will be living underground and like mad max....something like that!!!🤣🤣🤣🤯😱
I could see this coming from miles away.
Too bad we didn't know what else we were bringing up besides fish while dragging the bottom of the ocean off of alaska years ago.
This individual mechanical picking prediction is all well and good, but very slow, and unlikely to be the way industrial collection will happen.
Why couldn't it be done automatically on a large scale? We have highly efficient methods of selecting viable vs reject produce at speeds your eye can't keep up with, picking rocks off the mud with minimal disturbance seems very doable to me.
@@Mrbfgray Large scale gold mines strip the entire surface down to pay dirt, that will happen on the sea floor, or already is happening.
@@Box545x39 These things can be stringently regulated. For example--seafloor nodules could be individually plucked from the surface with minimal disruption to the mud, particularly with AI (artificial intelligence)
. A wide platform hovering above the floor with multiple robotic arms snatching the chunks as it progresses along. Thrusters would be well above to eliminate kicking up plumes of sediments.
The operation would be continuously monitored in real time to verify minimal disruption, lights an cameras. If all that rigor delays economic implementation, so be it. The fact that those nodules are so uniquely concentrated in valuable minerals will likely eventually make it viable.
Comparisons to traditional gold mining is silly, not only is gold of limited, almost no utility, but the ore bodies in question are radically different.
@@Mrbfgray I wish someone like you was involved in the process then, because your perspective of how to achieve said goal keeps in mind all creatures and native life down there which I think these corporations fail to grasp to this day.
@@Box545x39 I think most do grasp it, regardless they will either embrace it or not be involved at all. While I lean heavily Libertarian for good reason, externalities like the environment must and can be regulated. Market forces alone don't consistently account for such tho customers of said products can and often do enforce high standards, others will not.
Figure out how to comply or forget about it. There needs to be international standards which is a big hurdle.
Currently--reckless methods and over fishing from the likes of China is a far bigger concern, similar for the dams that have gutted the previously spectacular salmon runs decades ago to the present in Pacific N. West. USA fisheries are mostly properly controlled.
..em ..sorry komen.je.tungu.lama.dh..tau..
China doesn't have amonopoly on any of the metals listed
Science or academia are more of an obstacle with an occasional 1-3% contribution but the mechanic ans techs here in the private sector will absolutly organically find the needs and methods we need. After the fact science can catalog , record and grade what where when and how.
Sure; this is one area we haven't yet destroyed! Go for it!
Glad I'm old enough not have to worry about that kind of future!
On behalf of all the young people, thanks mate!
Em..
Saying asking this generation of smart phone users to be responsible. It's not the users that need to be responsible. The manufacturers come out with new phones every year or 2. Our phones already have literally the knowledge of the entire world in them. They can navigate, they connect us. Yet every new IPhone or Galaxy that comes out, people act like these awesome phones aren't as good anymore because there's a new model and everyone throws their phone away to buy a new 1. This is the manufacturers fault. They don't care about resources or the earth, they just want those mountains of money
Totally!
I'm not one for upgrading regularly, only when I have to.
You couldn't have hit the nail any more square on the head. It's the same with many other things too.
Are u kidding me…I cannot believe I just spent 45 minutes watching and only at the end realize it’s religious, “god”=cop out
LOL 2077 and VW still around I think not!!! That should have been a Tesla. Shame on you Spark.
Philippines 🇵🇭 contacts on me we can discuss.
never going to happen we as people are to stupid.
This is terrible. We are just beginning to realize the complex life on and living within the sea bed. F the Amazon. This is our trove. And these block heads are going to squander it all.

I see someone under you so you're not first, which means you're losing.
