I am surprised these smelters even run on electricity. Burning stuff to turn it into heat to drive turbines to turn into electricity, then turning it back into heat. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I'm working on the MK2 version of this concept. I call it "perpetual motion" perhaps some of you have heard about it. But the problem is it can't compete with simple burning of coal to boil water to wiz a turbine around and generate electricity.

I'm trying to sell a Harbour Bridge to fund a Wind Farm and vegan collective Coconut farm in Tasmania to continue the project but can't get Gov't funding.

It appears however, I can be trusted to get a kids family allowance and piss it up against a wall, but can't be trusted to bet more than a mandatory pre committed amount on the Pokies.

For crissake, what's more important?
