- 0x3f 3mo ago> Steel comes from iron, which you can't grow Right, and where is the iron coming from in the scenario where we can't import steel?
- 1970-01-01 3mo agoAs it is top-critical, you're recycling it, opening new mines, and taking it by force.
- 0x3f 3mo agoDon't most of these contingencies apply to steel in the first place?

- 0x3f 3mo agoWhy can't steel be recycled or taken by force?
- wongarsu 3mo agoRecycling steel uses by and large the same industrial sites as making new steel. Most new steel has some amount of recycled steel mixed in, the trick is getting the ratios of various types of scrap right
- 8note 3mo agook but in the bad situation, your steel is at the bottom of the ocean. how are you recycling that?
