Opinion: We need battery metals to build electric cars Luckily, the sea floor has plenty

Lippold is a retired naval officer who is now president of Lippold Strategies. He was stationed in San Diego from 1993 to 1996, and lives in Carson City, Nevada. The state of California earned its well-deserved pro-environmentalist reputation over years of steadfast commitment to our future. In September of last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order forbidding sales of new internal-combustion cars and passenger trucks by 2035. Then, earlier this year, he announced an effort to stop any new hydraulic fracturing by 2024 and all in-state oil extraction by 2045 a significant step for America’s seventh-largest oil-producing state. Reasonable minds certainly can differ on the timing and content of California’s approach.

Machines tethered to this hulking ship had plucked rocks the size of a child’s fist from the ocean floor thousands of miles into the Pacific. The mission was delicate and controversial with broad implications for the planet. Investors are betting tens of millions of dollars that these black nodules packed with metals used in electric car batteries are the ticket for the United States to recapture supremacy over the green economy and to keep up with a global transportation revolution started by California.
