A massive underground deposit of high-grade phosphate rock in Norway, pitched as the world’s largest, is big enough to satisfy world demand for fertilizers, solar panels and electric car batteries over the next 100 years, according to the company exploiting the resource.

    Heh that’s cute that they’re planning for capitalism or humans to survive another 100 years.

    Your profits are going to abruptly end long before than.

    Norway isn’t part of the EU. Unsure the implications then since we are holding a lucrative natural resource and the EU can’t assume this is community property. Maybe our communal wealth fund is about to get a whole lot bigger. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    In case people don’t know, phosphate additives are a requirement for modern agriculture, it’s a finite resource that doesn’t renew itself and it’s constantly washed into the sea by rain.

    Not having phosphate means that there’s no food production.
