The primary barrier remains the lack of access to competitively priced, long-term power, according to the industry.

“Energy costs are a significant factor in the overall production cost of a smelter,” said Ami Shivkar, principal analyst of aluminum markets at analytics firm Wood Mackenzie. “High energy costs plague the US aluminium industry, forcing cutbacks and closures.”

“Canadian, Norwegian, and Middle Eastern aluminium smelters typically secure long-term energy contracts or operate captive power generation facilities. US smelter capacity, however, largely relies on short-term power contracts, placing it at a disadvantage,” Shivkar added, noting that energy costs for U.S. aluminum smelters were about $550 per tonne compared to $290 per tonne for Canadian smelters.

Exports are where the pain and blood are going to kick in.

All those soybeans, pork and wheat farmers used to sell to China? Gone, gone, gone. China has made deals elsewhere for all that it’s never coming back.

It’s gone and they don’t need the US farmers anymore.

Next up, trump and his regime will initiate a bailout of the Farmers because they destroyed their market. National Debt… another trillion or two added.

WTF ?? 40+ % agree with him? How can this country be like that?

ANYONE who supported him or voted for him or helped him get elected is a racist, a bigot and/or a misogynist— I don’t go for this “oh, a lot of people didn’t know what he would do” bullsh!t.

This is why I tell people MAKE A LIST of everyone you know or know of that helped this madman, soon enough a lot of them are going to try and pretend they didn’t and we can’t let them.

I want to see the Latino community take revenge of these morons who helped him get elected. I want the families of these people snatched off the streets confronting them. I want to see these morons who helped him get elected because Joe Biden wasn’t reacting the way they wanted on Gaza to go to Gaza and explain to them that they had to show Biden who was boss and help a man who wants to see them all dead become President.

The main reason for this is to avoid any digital paper trail. The whole thing is to do one thing: not leave anything that can be subpoenaed or have a FOIA filing against.

He is hiding what he is doing just like the rest of the trump regime.
