interesting in theory, very difficult to actually make their plan economically viable and socially acceptable. Loads of groups have campaigned against them, and their tech while working is unproven at wider loads.

you mean where the continent drops off down to the deep sea plates? not much there i am afraid, but there is gold and silver at black smokers where the plates subduct and split apart. However, no ones ever made money at actually mining any of it.

again because its never been profitable, its too technically challenging. Most of these high value targets found on the sea floor are kms from the surface and machines just dont seem to work great at crushing depths. This gear cost 20 million to develop and a specialized mining rig ship that cost probably 100 million to build but it never worked.
