But what do you mean with aluminium smelting not being the industry of the future? Considering our future energy situation, aluminium demand should go up as it replaces steel in ever more car parts. For example the 0.3 litres per 10 km Audi A2 is entirely made out of aluminium.

And if you can keep your energy costs down, by for example being located next to a big hydro plant on a remote island, your future should be bright.


Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
