Congress is working hard on legislation to bolster the United States’ leadership in science and technology and support a clean energy economy that is “made in America.” This is great news for our ocean because a healthy ocean is essential to our ability to thrive as a nation, grow our economy and advance climate solutions.

Already reeling from the impacts of climate change and plastic pollution, our ocean now faces another threat: deep-sea mining. The massive machines that would be deployed to mine the seabed for critical minerals would destroy ocean ecosystems that developed over tens of millions of years.

The case for phasing out of fossil fuels and making a just and equitable transition to clean energy has never been more clear. Contrast that with some of the wider benefits of the clean energy transition, such as phasing out coal generation by 2030, which are realized by everyone including historically disenfranchised groups.

A transition to 100 percent renewable energy is about more than just technology. I also find it fascinating to learn about bigger, more powerful wind turbines that better harness wind energy on land and in the ocean. Similarly, communities now tied to fossil fuels need support in moving beyond that dependence.
