Wahi a kahi hōʻike mai MINING SEE ma Malaki 30, 2021, ua hoʻolaha ka hui mining ʻAukekulelia-Finnish ʻo Latitude 66 Cobalt ua ʻike ka hui i ka hā o ka nui loa ma ʻEulopa ma ka hikina o Lapland, Finland. ʻO ka Big Cobalt Mine ka waihona me ke kūlana cobalt kiʻekiʻe loa ma nā ʻāina EU.
Ua hoʻopaʻa kēia ʻike hou i ke kūlana o Scandinavia ma ke ʻano he mea hana mea maka. Ma waena o nā waihona cobalt nui he 20 ma ʻEulopa, aia he 14 ma Finland, aia he 5 ma Suedena, a aia kekahi ma Sepania. ʻO Finland ka mea hana nui loa ma ʻEulopa i nā metala pākahiko a me nā kemika.
He mea nui ka Cobalt no ka hana ʻana i nā kelepona paʻalima a me nā kamepiula, a hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hana i nā kaula kīkā. Ke ulu nui nei ke koi no ka cobalt, ʻoiai nā pila i hoʻohana ʻia i nā kaʻa uila, nona ka nui o 36 kilokani o ka nickel, 7 kilokani o ka lithium, a me 12 kilokani o ka cobalt. Wahi a nā helu helu mai ke Komisina ʻEulopa (EU Commission), i ka lua o nā makahiki o ke kenekulia 21, e hoʻopau ka mākeke pila ʻEulopa ma kahi o 250 biliona euros (US$293 biliona) o nā huahana pila. ʻO ka hapa nui o kēia mau pila i kēia manawa ua hana ʻia lākou a pau ma ʻAsia. Paipai ke Komisina ʻEulopa i nā ʻoihana ʻEulopa e hana i nā pila, a he nui nā papahana hana pila e hana nei. Pēlā nō, paipai pū ka ʻAhahui ʻEulopa i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea maka i hana ʻia ma ke ʻano hoʻomau, a ke hoʻohana nei ʻo Latitude 66 Cobalt Mining Company i kēia kulekele hoʻolālā o ka ʻAhahui ʻEulopa no ke kūʻai aku ʻana.
"Loaʻa iā mākou ka manawa kūpono e hoʻopukapuka kālā ai i ka ʻoihana mining ma ʻApelika, akā ʻaʻole ia he mea a mākou e makemake ai e hana. No ka laʻana, ʻaʻole au i manaʻo e māʻona nā mea hana kaʻa nui i ke kūlana o kēia manawa," wahi a Russell Delroy, he lālā o ka papa alakaʻi o ka hui. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ma kahi ʻōlelo.
