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.

No, office is no better.

There is only one response to anyone and everyone that brings this up:

OBAMA 2028 !!!

Tell this to every ass that talks about Mid-Term elections and raising money for mid-terms. By then it’s going to be two late.

Midterms are like 2 years away, by then it will be too late

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.

and when I hear “private equity” I am not surprised in the slightest

What a mamby pamby headline – “trump is killing the economy, turning the country into a police state regime and independents kinda are noticing”

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.

such bullsh!t - Hogg sees they aren’t doing their jobs, they aren’t fighting and they need to go. Good for him.

This is the problem, these establishment Democrats aren’t supporting the people who are willing to fight, they want to write strongly worded letters and consider legislation… those days are gone.

Jefferies needs to be thrown out, Schumer needs to step back or walk away.

I really thought Martin would be good for the party but I’m not seeing it

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.

Hey dude… Biden isn’t President anymore.

It’s all your fault.

Old nazi is angry the law is obeyed and respected over his desire to punish non-white people like they should be.

She said the truth out loud :

“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler,” she said in a video posted Monday morning. “I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

So why aren’t the big players on Wall Street raising hell over this?

I created lists of people I want to see what they post. I look through them. I get a wide variety of content from those lists.

I also created searches by hashtag and that works for me when I want to see what people are saying about specific topics. Works great.

No, I don’t feel overwhelmed.

I would like ANYONE to stick a camera into the face of these Arab and Muslim leaders who told their followers to help get trump elected because they didn’t think Joe Biden was acting fast enough or giving them the attention they wanted and ask them if their feelings are still hurt with news like this.

I’m sure the people of Gaza are so pleased with them and their stupidity

Just install UBUNTU, it will make your 10 year old machine run like it’s brand new because the OS doesn’t suck and isn’t Windows 98 with code piled on top of it.

I’m scanning the article for the part where she or members of her family voted for trump

"Sure, we voted for him and this but we thought he would only screw over the blacks, hispanics and muslims… not me. "

I’m surprised he admitted he voted for trump… morons like this are more than likely playing the “Oh, I didn’t vote for him” game.

I should have some compassion for his wife— but I don’t. I have no sympathy or compassion for any of these idiots who voted for trump (looking at the Arab/Muslim population who helped him get elected to prove a point to Joe Biden over Gaza too) knowing he was going to do this…

I think they meant “1930’s Germany and today’s political climate”
