A Techno-Economic Assessment of Seabed Mining: American Samoa and Global Implications - CleanTechnica
Evidence based review finds deep ocean mining overstates its readiness, underestimates costs, and faces weak demand for nodule derived metals.

Please join Michael Barnard, Lyle Trytten, and I for a public webinar to discuss their new report on whether seabed mining in the American Samoa region is economically viable and technically achievable. Tues 12/2 at 3 PM ET/12 PM PT/9 AM SST. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Flyer for deep sea mining webinar, showing pictures of panelists and moderator. Text reads: A new report on the technical and economic feasibility of deep sea mining in the American Samoa region finds that the approaches of two leading companies are plagued by flawed financial models, underestimated costs, and immature technology. Register for this webinar with the report authors to learn why deep sea mining is likely to be much harder, slower, and more expensive than proponents suggest.

The Eric Schickler essay in Larry Bartel's symposium on "What Trump Has Taught Us About Political Science" is one of the most insightful pieces I've read in 2025.

US institutions turned out to be weak, and we have to rethink conventional wisdom.
