Comment Extended continental shelf resources (Score 2) 344

Its about the natural resources, check out the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This allows any of the 8 arctic coastal countries to claim exclusive rights past 200 miles, into their extended continental shelf. US has a small piece of the pie now because of Alaska. Denmark (thru Greenland) would provide another large area. US has already signed the treaty, but not ratified it. Once ratified, you have 10 years to stake your claim, by mapping the sea floor.

Comment Crowd sourcing options for fighting arbitration? (Score 1) 63

These arbitration clauses are a curse for consumers. Any ideas on how crowd sourcing could be used to help a group of individuals in these cases? Pulling together volunteers/advocates, gathering and sharing evidence, rules and process information... Needs to lower the cost and amplify the power of each individual to fight. While the corporations will easily overwhelm any individual, maybe making a fair fight possible for even a small percentage of those affected could overwhelm a corporation.
