Topic: What Is Leaving The Exhaust Stack? And Over The Side?
First let me preface my commits by saying;
For me no global warming is possible.
For me no energy sources are renewable.
For me costly alternative sources can be had.
Some very weird things-->I heard but have no idea if these are true.
Out the Stack:
The U.S.A. has a small number [maybe 5?] steel mills limping along at a reduced tonnage, cold blast furnaces, and a huge 'brain drain' and all over regulated but with clean stack emissions.
China around 2,800 steel mills humming along at a high rate of tonnage without regulation and dirty stacks and a ton of workers enhanced by the whole trickle down effect thing.
India has 3 steel mills, unregulated, well oiled with workers and cash, and out producing all that China rolls out.
Over The Side:
Subaru is owned by Fuji Heavy Industries that have behemoth sized factory ships that travel to Australia, load the sand off the beach and once in international waters, fire up the propane fired smelters and pricepate the aluminum out of the beach sand, tossing the dregs over the side and freely exhausting the effluents to the atmosphere. Unregulated but very cost efficient. I also heard that Subaru moved some production from Japan, to China. That becamr too expensive so now moved again to Korea. Of course Subaru still assembles cars in Indiana, south of Chicago. [Indiana has lower taxes then Illinois. Witch is why Palmer Johnson Yachts in my town of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin sells and tranferrs ownership in Indiana waters, as well.]
It was interesting to note that when Toyota needed extra capacity for a short time that Subaru allowed Toyota to assemble their cars at Subaru~Indiana. Do you think GM would alloow Ford to do this?
Anyone want to talk or rant?
