Thanks for coming back on that. My own interest is copper and aluminum, which consume tremendous amounts of electricity, which comes from the power grid, which is fueled by coal and natural gas. I am thinking we might have to do some vertical integration and get off the power grid just to continue to operate. I don't believe the anti-monopolists or greenies will be pleased to see the coal being delivered.

Hopefully there will be a lot more power on the grid one of these years.

There are some dams that are adding generating capacity on the hydro electric grid here in the Pacific Northwest.

The Greens go nuts if anyone talks about building any new dams, but adding height or new generators to existing dams is sometimes feasible.
