Deep-sea mining could help fuel renewable energy. Here's why it's been put on hold.

Industrial-scale deep-sea mining for metals and minerals is on hold for now, after the international group that governs the sea floor could not come to an agreement on a mining code for the ocean bed.

Instead, it announced it would continue working on an agreement aimed at putting regulations governing commercial ocean floor mining in place in 2025.
