You could say the same about plastic though when its first developed, which requires a lot of petroleum.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the aluminum being stripped, I think its closer to 90%. I recall reading that it goes from 5 lbs to .6, or something like that. I certainly hope its Christopher Sciaccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00780044156231457785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13394980.post-41412586622068632122008-10-15T23:39:00.000+02:002008-10-15T23:39:00.000+02:00Interesting concept.

It looks like more than 50% of the aluminium needs to be stripped of. What energy does that consumes and then what energy is required to melt all the scrap into another aluminium block. Any idea? In a low carbon world, we may want to look at Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600835166360999093noreply@blogger.com
