Surging Energy Costs Forcing US Companies to Scale Back Operations
“600 workers at the second-largest aluminum mill in America, accounting for 20% of US supply, learned they were losing their jobs because the plant can’t afford an electricity tab that’s tripled in a matter of months. Century Aluminum Co. says it’ll idle the Hawesville, Kentucky, mill for as long as a year, taking out the biggest of its three US sites.”

Interesting. My dad works at an aluminum extrusion plant (taking aluminum logs and turning them into everything else) and they've been backlogged for a while with business. If their source of aluminum logs dries up, or has to divert material elsewhere, that's going to hurt big time.

Can't we just print some more money and pay the electric bills for them?
Paper and ink are cheap right???

It’s all part of the plan.

I really hope this is planned. If not, we are really screwed.

So hope they are laying off the Green People first.

I guess shutting down all that reliable, abundant, low cost coal fired power generation has a real cost.
Sometimes people need to be given what they ask for good and freakin’ hard.
Just think how much fun it will be of myself and my RR colleagues can finally go on strike later this summer. Hopefully we can, big RR’s need to be taught a lesson.

Why not raise the prices? Are they competing against forging competition?
