Rare Earth Metals. Here we go again! Now on the seabed, rare earth metals Have been 'discovered' in brownie-colored muck. The question, those who are aware are now asking, 'Just how might these elements be harvested Without destroying this whole seabed ecosystem?' Once again, our earth most likely will be compromised As a result of the 'needs' of the Runaway Species! As Pogo stated in 1970, commemorating the first Earth Day in S.F., "We have met the enemy and He is Us." Frank Maurer 10 July 2023 1210 Hours.
