The Potential for Geopolitical Conflict

There is the Pacific deep sea floor where there are these nodules about the medium sized potato but perfectly spherical that are from volcanic origin. They're just kind of lying there on the surface of the sea floor ready to be picked up and they're saying to just let them sit there. And loaded with cobalt and nickel and lithium in I think manganese, the very metals that are needed for the batteries and other stuff. There could be more to come and a lot of geopolitical potential for conflict because they're already thinking, okay, maybe we don't have enough deposits of these metals on the lands or on the earth's terrestrial surfaces.
