Hello, DeepGreen recently changed its name to "The Metals Company". I made a draft for it. Feel free to improve it:Draft:The Metals Company. Best, Thriley (talk) 21:22, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I put it into articlespace. There seems to be plenty of sourcing. Thriley (talk) 21:30, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could deep sea mining be done in a way that has less impact on the ocean life and support the refinery of a combination of fossil fuels and human biological waste deep below the sea bed in large scale inhabitable structures?

If it were possible to mine the minerals needed in a way that doesn't disturb the sea bed, by mining from an in land starting point that enters the sea well below the sea bed. Allowing us to build large scale purpose built structures to inhabit to use whatever fossil fuels found to be an activator for human biological waste. Fueled by hydrogen powered fuel cells providing an artificial environment by the initial desalination of water to provide drinking water and the then separation of hydrogen and oxygen molecules to fuel the refinement process and the underground air pressure and oxygen levels required to inhabit the location.

Ideally using giant cylinders to push the refinery process from one stage to the other well below the structure built well below the sea bed. Using materials to support the structure on the sea bed that would instead of disturbing sea life promote it in such a way as the off shore wind turbines foundation structures that have proved themselves as a desirable location to breed for ocean life. 95.145.31.176 (talk) 03:31, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could deep sea mining be done in a way that has less impact on the ocean life and support the refinery of a combination of fossil fuels and human biological waste deep below the sea bed in large scale inhabitable structures? If it were possible to mine the minerals needed in a way that doesn't disturb the sea bed.

by mining from an in land starting point that enters the sea well below the sea bed.

Allowing us to build large scale purpose built structures to inhabit to use whatever fossil fuels found during excavation to be sucked up and later used as an activator for human biological waste. Creating hybrid fuels for future industrial commercial and domestic use.

The site could potentially be used to generate large amounts of energy using mass scale hydrogen fuel power or nuclear power in a much safer environment that could potentially reduce energy costs world wide after paying off the investments.

The inhabited structure would be Fueled by hydrogen powered fuel cells providing an artificial environment by the initial desalination of water to provide drinking water and the then separation of hydrogen and oxygen molecules to fuel the refinement process and the underground air pressure and oxygen levels required to inhabit the location as well as plant life to aim towards a fully self sustainable artificial eco system below the sea bed.

Ideally using giant cylinders to push and mix the hybrid fuel refinery process in a similar way to how gas pressure cylinders used inland to provide adequate gas pressure to every home and then used to push the "hybrid fuel" refinery process from one stage to the other (from one cylinder to the other with a continuous rotation, adding and mixing in more fossil fuels extracted and sucked up during the building of the 2 structures and used as an activator for the human biological waste to break down quicker as more of the human biological waste is added to the process and mixed in as it decreases in solid mass and increases liquid and gaseous pressure).

The gasses building up siphoned out and mixed with the oxygen created by making hydrogen to power the equipment with hydrogen fuel cells providing the means to create an artificial environment in the structures built well below the sea bed that are above the cylinders and equipment used to practice self sustainable artificial environments and the modern industrial farming methods to create vegetation for consumption adding to an inhabitable articial environments "more natural' mixture of naturally occurring gasses).

This would again be well below the structure built far beneath the sea bed in a way not to disturb life on the ocean floor and any external supporting structures on the sea bed.

Connecting and supporting the structures below to be built out of materials that promote the breeding of life on the sea bed, in such a way to replicate the discovery of off shore wind turbines foundations and structures that have been found to and proved themselves as a desirable location for ocean life to breed.

I feel like Project Azorian should be mentioned, and its impact on information about deap sea mining discussed

Considering the CIA literally fabricated misinformation about deep sea mining on a massive scale should be a consideration not only as a topic in the article but also a consideration when examining information about Deep sea mining in general. Best case scenario theres nothing wrong with this article, worst case it turns out that significant amounts of sources descend from Project Azorian. Msqy (talk) 19:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One way or another it may also be a good idea to point out that some older sources on deep sea mining in particular about mining manganese nodules may rely on CIA fabrications. Msqy (talk) 19:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is "mm/Ma"?

If it is "mm per million years", please make this clearer. 110.174.155.159 (talk) 02:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
