The US has some of the cheapest energy in the world and is the largest energy exporter in the world.
There are people that worry about the US power grid though. They think the grid won't keep up with US re industrialisation.

that's cool vermin now why don't you worry about your own country you stupid fucking hasan niggerleaf

>>36238The economics of the US are quite important to Canada. Canada is pretty much a US state after all. Most Canadian states trade more with the US than they do with other Canadian states.

Go worry about the fact that your country is being overrun by pakis and streetshitters.

There's already enough misinformation and other chicanery going on, you don't need to add AI hallucinations of unnamed (biased) sources to it

>he US needs to put a ton of tax spending into the creation or refurbishing of their older infrastructure.
I guess it's private sector in the US. But the lackadaisical decision making of the US government means people aren't even sure if something is a good investment or not. Only people who can have their risktaking be subsudized are going to do it.

>>36269It is but the US is the biggest energy producer in the world. So the US is well positioned to do anything energy intensive. They also have parts of the country that are good for Solar and wind.
But yes. They do need to work on infrastructure.

>>36290What was your position?
No.36293
>>36292I'm saying not to take it lightly. Canada has lots of hydro which is cheap as hell. Solar and wind don't cut it. And supposedly America is supposed to be getting angry at inflation, so they're going to throw more grid usage into something that could easily be imported for cheap?

I'm not talking about the US vis a vis Canada but against China instead. China produces far more aluminium than Canada does and it's China the US is in competition with and it's China the US aims to replace the industrial capacity of.
Also talk of Coal power is stupid. The US is the largest producer of oil and gas in the world. There are shake oil fields that burn gas as a by-product of oil extraction simply because they don't have the infrastructure to export it. The US has the energy to do this but it's not going to be through coal.
No.36302
>>36300why are you always so wrong... everything you just said is factually wrong. About Canada-US aluminium trade, you can find the facts. And about the US East Coast largest power generators you're wrong but I could be sued for talking about that by a contract with the generator
No.36303
maybe by combined total generation across multiple smaller units, I could have misscalculated that.. but in terms of raw per generator power the coal and nuclear ones output the most
No.36305
>>36302Go and look up oil, gas and aluminium production by nation. I am not wrong.
Didn't I alsosay I was talking about aluminium more generally and not just in regards to Canada? Canada doesn't even make a tenth of what China does.
I wasn't talking about US east cost power generators. That was somebody else.
No.36308
The US is attacking Canada through economics.
No.36310
>>36307What biases? You clearly are not reading what I write. I am not talking about Canada by itself I am talking globally. The US wants to replace Chinese manufacturing and it wants to do a little of that in the US itself. To do that it needs to establish it's own material processing including aluminium.
Your import chart US irrelevant to this.

No.36314
>>36304There is still a natural gas plant in that list. Also it's much easier and quicker to build natural gas than nuclear.
But also this isn't the biggest issue. The issue is electricity cost not output. There are ways to get around output but not cost.
No.36315
>>36314it's complicated because that NG gen is part of a nuclear installation
No.36316
>>36315Either way they can just use multiple plants or make a really big one.
The bottom line is that the US is flooded with cheap gas and oil and as Aluminium production is an energy intensive process that is good for the US. It makes US energy cheap so it will make US Aluminium production cheaper(otherwise they will have to subsidise the industry which depending on how important they view this they may do)
No.36322
>>36316And yet they get most of it from Canada.
There's also the issue of bauxite reserves practically being non existent in the US
No.36323
>>36322The US has larger bauxite reserves than Canada. But anyway, this just means that it would have to import it.
Now if only the world's largest producer of Bauxite also happened to be a close ally of the USA...
