There is an enormous amount of jonque out there. The steel mines could almost be closed down for several months, while the stock of automotive scrap is used up.
LOTS of reclaimable plastics, aluminum and lead-acid batteries to be salvaged. I see great potential for an electric-power foundry or two to go into operation.
Steel mines?
