An interesting opportunity to see how three different perspectives portray the same topic. In this case deep sea mining.

Weirdly only one of them mentiones that the US isn't a party to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea at all.

Battery recycling is not only good for the environment but also for the economy. Recycling batteries can help meet the growing demand for critical minerals, such as cobalt and lithium. This means battery recycling can support the transition to clean energy and create new jobs and industries. Closing the loop needs more, such as using less material, extending the life and looking for substitutes.

Major U.S. geological survey aims to uncover minerals critical for batteries and microchips

"Given the demands of green technology and the imperative to lower carbon emissions, many environmental groups are softening their stance on critical-mineral mining"

Critical minerals are essential for clean energy technologies, but their supply is at risk due to geopolitical tensions and environmental challenges. T20 India, the “idea bank” for the G20, proposes a global framework to ensure sustainable and resilient supply chains for these minerals. This could benefit millions of people who depend on clean energy for their livelihoods and well-being.

The US and China compete to supply critical minerals essential for clean energy technologies. These minerals, such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, and rare earth elements, are in high demand and limited availability. The US is trying to diversify its sources and reduce its dependence on China, which dominates the market. Europe also seeks to secure access to these minerals and develop its production capacity.

"Germany wants to help countries that are rich in critical minerals such as Chile, Indonesia and Namibia to build their own processing infrastructure to cut dependency on China, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Sunday.

(Scholz argued that) geopolitical developments in Europe and Asia (required) similar deals with other countries such as Mexico and Australia, Kenya and India."

Hey, clean energy companies. Don't fall into the trap!

None of us want to repeat the mistakes of the fossil fuel mining industry.

Now is the perfect time to reset relationships, and to properly consult First Nations leaders before developing renewable energy projects on their land.

The First Nations Clean Energy Network have developed a guide to assist you: 'Best Practice Principles for Clean Energy Projects'.

There's ten best practice principles that should underpin all agreements for land use and benefit sharing between First Nations groups, companies and investors.

You can find the guide on their website. firstnationscleanenergy.org.au

We look forward to witnessing you implement them!

Yes, are important for the transition to , and we should think hard about reducing their impacts and building more justice and equity into their extraction...

BUT, as this piece points out, switching to RE from fossil fuels will radically reduce the overall level of extraction and mining.
