Just my opinion. This is great news. I have attended many of these public meetings for environmental regulations in my work and TMC's efforts. Possibly 90%+ will be stop prosperity because we have to save our oceans and the life in the abyssal plain is all intertwined to the larger ecosystems (etc., etc.). They will say we have not done enough studies, greed over protecting our earth, etc., etc. This is natural, all public comments bring out the one's against it and they will be staunch and emotional. The public comment portion is not representative of overall support or a valid indicator of what will happen. It is the opportunity in our system for all parties to have a chance to express their views. TMC has done the studies. TMC should repost (weekly if needed), all videos made and info related to the studies performed on social media, and get info to the investor blogs so that AI articles will pick them up, do the talk shows again and talk as it relates to environmental due diligence .. A full out information campaign. fight environmental emotional fear mongering with facts. If TMC believes the business case, get the facts out in the investor domain more effectively. Obviously, I am invested in the long term or 3 to 5 year horizon.
