Except that giant aluminum smelting is going to happen regardless to make drink cans, MacBooks, and Teslas, among other things. Wouldn't you rather it be powered by renewables than coal?
- defrost 3y agoWhat's the energy cost of transporting millions of tonnes of pre smelt raw ores (Bauxite) to Bhutan (from, say, Australia)? I prefer to keep total energy costs down (wrt to multiple factors including C02 production) and this isn't as straightforward as your comment implies.

- rippercushions 3y agoSure, but how do you ship the aluminum ore to Bhutan?
