Aluminum is most common metal on the Earth. It is everywhere!
But it is made by electrolysis (the same method they make hydrogen, BTW).
This just burns electrical power!
Too much energy used.
That why they are closing Aluminum plants in Europe!
How Russia makes power? By burning coal!
Another example of outsourcing coal!
Somehow, in the minds of bureaucrats, coal burnt in Russia, China and India is just great for the Earth, while the same coal burnt in Europe and America is soo bad!
