    Uuurgh, while it is the true that Norway (and the European market to some extend though Norway isn't in the EU but it is very connected) needs minerals for a green transition, I wish this would be done in a research kind of way. That is, have public(not private) research after first mining a very small amount first to see the effects. Before we make any big plans.

    Yes climate change is catastrophic, but replacing catastrophe with another potential catastrophe is not the way to go.
