cobalt<p>Not expecting comments of stars on this post, but I’m much more alert now because I’m onto my second cuppa of double brew coffee and the world is looking brighter now. I do want to note my rant about eggs. Hey! I have never had trouble getting eggs here in Phoenix even at the worst of the bird flu disruptions. There were times there were a lot less eggs and brands of eggs in the stores here, but never complete outrages. And I never once had to pay more than $5.69 for a dozen.

cobalt<p>And now for banal! But practical! And I really need my second cuppa right now. Up at 5 am because holy cow, I fell asleep last night at 7 pm. Yikes. So here’s my <a href="https://beige.party/tags/TipOfDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TipOfDay</span></a> what I do with just a few eggs left. It’s when I really need to make more space in the fridge. I cut down a cardboard egg carton to fit 4 or 6 eggs. It holds the few stray eggs just fine.

But companies have long eyed the ocean floor as a potential source of metals like nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies.</p><p>"The world has no rulebook for deep-sea mining. One company is pushing forward anyway</p><p>"These metals can be found in potato-sized nodules lying on the ocean floor. Many of the nodules are in the middle of the Pacific ocean, beyond the legal territory of individual countries.</p><p>"Thursday's order might circumvent ongoing international negotiations to regulate deep-sea mining.</p><p>"Those regions have traditionally been overseen by an international organization, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternationalSeabedAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalSeabedAuthority</span></a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ISA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ISA</span></a>). The ISA has hosted talks for years to try to hammer out a rulebook to govern a potential seabed mining industry. The U.S. did not ratify the treaty that governs the seabed, and is not a voting member of the ISA, though in the past under previous administrations it has respected the ISA process.</p><p>"In his executive order, Trump instructed federal agencies to expedite the process for reviewing and issuing permits for mining on the seafloor in both U.S. and international territory. It will use a U.S. law from 1980, the "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSeabed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeepSeabed</span></a> Hard Mineral Resources Act."</p><p>"Scientists and environmental groups condemned the order, arguing that opening the deep seabed for mining could disrupt important marine ecosystems, and damage the fishing industry.</p><p>" 'This is being planned on some of the least resilient <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a> on the planet,' says Douglas McCauley, professor of ocean science at the University of California Santa Barbara.
