We don’t need deep-sea mining, or its environmental harms. Here’s why. Really!

Finally, after several decades being fairly limited deep sea mining, humans will be able to do commercially viable deep sea mining on a larger scale with current, more advanced technologies like robotics.

Human ingenuity will provide the means to make deep sea mining as harmless as is possible.

Since about 1947, humans were able to drill for crude oil using offshore  drilling rigs without major, lasting environmental impact. Since then many such oil rigs came online.
