BOSTON, Massachusetts, June 19 (TNSres) -- Environment America Research and Policy Center issued the following news release:
According to a new report released Tuesday, we do not need destructive deep-sea mining operations to meet our critical mineral needs. In fact, the world trashes more copper and cobalt - metals used to build clean energy technologies - in our electronic waste than miners would likely extract each year from the central Pacific through at least 2035.
