Rare Earths in the U.S.: Promise, Profit, and Pollution
The United States is trying to build a stronger rare earth supply chain, but the issue is more complicated than simply âmine more at home.â Rare earths are critical for defense systems, electronics, e...

A taxpayer-backed deal for a politically connected company is bad enoughârare earth mining also brings serious pollution, water, and habitat harms. Hard to trust the payoff.

Deepâsea mining is pure destruction. NOAA and TMC are ready to rip apart an ancient ecosystem for profit. The ocean is not theirs to ruin.đ°

Scientists discovered 24 new deep-sea species and a new branch of life in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone. With most species still undescribed, decisions about deep-sea mining risk being made before we know whatâs there. Stop TMC's deep-sea mining project. WE NEED REFORM NOW!

Greenpeace Canadaâs newest report âClaiming the Commons: The Legal Quagmire of The Metals Companyâ sheds light on the legal concerns surrounding TMCâs operations as it pursues deep sea mining without regard to international law and other important considerations.

When a Canadian company is trying to claim the commons
It is clear that this industry should never see the light of day. Environmentally, socially and economically speaking, deep sea mining just does not make sense.

The pressure to permit deep-sea mining is growing â putting Indigenous & coastal communities at risk. A new article details how The Metals Company is pushing extraction despite scientific uncertainty and why a moratorium is urgently needed. https://bit.ly/4kVKVhd

"If commercial mining proceeds before sufficient baseline measurements are collected, the missing data cannot later be reconstructed. Training models on incomplete data sets will weaken early-warning capabilities." Exactly!

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

A new independent analysis of The Metals Company's deep sea mining pre-feasibility study was released today by Dr. Steven H. Emmerman, an expert in the environmental impacts of mining. The conclusions? Deep sea mining is a very bad investment! with

In early April 2026, NOAA confirmed TMC's application is in "substantial compliance," a major milestone that allows the company to proceed without extensive revisions. Mining these nodules would cause irreversible damage to unique deep-sea ecosystems.

TMC's Reckless Deep-Sea Gamble Risks Ocean Apocalypse
NOAAâs new deepâseabed mining regulations were never meant to be a rubber stamp for industrial exploitation of one of the least understood ecosystems on Earth.

NOAA has finalized and enacted a rule merging deep-sea mining exploration and exploitation permits into a single "parallel review" process, accelerating approvals without sequential safeguards. Could you repost it? Thank you so much.

TMC's hasty DSM application under NOAA's rushed new regs is a reckless eco-gamble, ballooning its CCZ footprint to 65,000 km2 while glossing over sediment plumes that could devastate abyssal biodiversity for millennia. NOAA must halt this-prioritizing precaution, not a destructive gold rush.

TMC's rush to mine the Clarion-Clipperton Zone ignores ISA warnings and UNCLOS protections for the common heritage of mankind-prioritizing profits over irreversible deep-sea biodiversity loss. Time to halt this reckless exploitation before it's too late.đĄ
