Brass? Are you stupid or what. There is nothing cheaper than aluminum.

You want brass - be ready to pay $35 a pound for it.

I don't think you know what electroplating is, but smelting does take huge amounts of electricity.

Electroplating can be done with a battery charger, you won't smelt with one.

No those cannot.
I just completed a 3500-mile road trip. I saw (again) the vast majority of the ridiculous windmills not functioning--hundreds of them.

You need to read up on how much those monstrosities cost, and how much energy it takes to create the high-tech composite materials required. Even with the stated lifespans, which obviously is a gross exaggeration (lie) it is a foolish endeavor. The reality is much worse. Only those that believe Algore can change the earth's climate cycles could buy into that scam--and it is a scam.

Solar does hold some promise--in the future. As it is, it is a rip-off--not even factoring that most components are made by our mortal enemy.

Past time to tune out of CNN and tune into actual facts.

But the trees. Think about the trees!

Oh wait, they can burn the trees in a biomass power plant to make the tricities needed to melt the bauxite brought from Australia on oil burning ships that are made with iron smelted with coal.

Or maybe they could just make one giant aluminum beer can and float it over using wind power.

Oozing sarcasm, I love it. It's Almost like wiping ones ass with super soft toilet paper.

That said, it's not China's fault. Greedy people in the USA selling everyone else out for higher profit margins, lower labor costs.
.
Wipe Wipe.

NO PROBLEM!!

We can just buy MORE aluminum from China!!
Cheaper to have them make it in China than for us to make it here!!

Wall Street will APPLAUD the decisions of the Corporate Big Wigs to stop making aluminum here and start buying it from China. MORE PROFITS for the Wall Street crowd if they do that, and isn't that what American Capitalism is all about? Maximizing the profits of the WALL STREET CROWD (and China at the same time) by shipping industry after industry to China.
