Deep-sea mining may soon ease the world's battery-metal shortage
In the Economist&#x27;s own words: &quot;a very rough comparison is possible&quot; which they then turn into a speculative headline (&quot;may&quot;) and a bold statement that the comparison is correct &quot;taking nickel from rainforests destroys 30 times more...&quot; after the article specifically states it is incomplete.<p>What a bunch of tools.  We shouldn&#x27;t be listening to management consultant speak when it comes to underwater ecosystems. Not a single scientist quoted in the article.  Disclosures from the company taken as truth and &quot;very transparent&quot;.  To think I used to look to this magazine for journalism.<p>Again: the whole article is premised on &quot;deforestation bad, destroying marine ecosystems okay or less bad&quot; based on... what?  The mining company&#x27;s assessment?  Absolute rubbish.  How much was this writer paid by the company?
