Every 5 or 10 years the stock market blows up and the economy is in crisis. You have people predicting that every day, and then in those 5 or 10 years events they are pronounced brilliant. In between those events you could have made a lot of money not listening to the wise guys. I listen to Jim Cramer. He is not always right, but even when he is wrong he is smarter than 99 % of gloom and doomers.

The time to be worried is when almost nobody is predicting gloom. As long as 50 % of TV talking heads are predicting the end of the World it will not happen because they are keeping some people out of the market. When everybody is in, then no more new money is out there and look for trouble. When everyone says it cannot go down and this time is different, it isn't.

Lots to do around here, will be off the air for a while. B SAFE ALL

Why do you insist on going back to an archaic, dirty, unhealthy method that is much more bad then good. We will be able to replace a great deal of the f****l f**l problem in relative short order,
even without Government aid..

But having a sick leader who impedes the advance to a better world is nothing more than embarrassing..

We could save the world if we could harness all the hot air dems/libs and progs blow!

I did read it. Perhaps you should read it through in its entirety yourself. Not a single mention of what form of carbon they use to make steel. Only how metal ores are made molten, reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, and contaminants reduced. Steel is mentioned as one alloy that can be made with this electrolysis process, but not what carbon source they include with the iron to turn it into steel.

So I repeat for the 3rd time. What carbon source, even if more expensive, could be used to replace coal in the steel industry?

this is a bit more from that link that you "read".....

But there are other ways to pull iron out of rocks. Dissolving ores in a molten electrolyte and passing a current through it could reduce iron oxides to a more usable form and produce oxygen at the same time. "The real issue here is finding a nonconsumable anode that can sustain this process," said Donald Sadoway, a professor of materials chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a co-author of the new report.

Previous attempts to electrolyze ores used anodes made of expensive elements like platinum and iridium, or the components broke down in the 1,600-degree-Celsius temperatures needed to maintain a liquid metal-oxide electrolyte.

Sadoway and his team found that an anode made from chromium-based alloys could withstand the process. These materials are also cheap. "If you end up with something that's superior but far costlier, nobody wants it," Sadoway said.

Using electrolysis to make metals has several advantages over a blast furnace. The resulting metals are purer because there are fewer contaminants introduced in the process. "The electrolytic route actually consumes less energy," Sadoway noted, adding that it can be 30 percent more efficient than conventional methods.
