Bauxite....easy to get! Especially in Weipa and close by.

Shipping to Alumina refinery, just like other ores

Turning Bauxite into Alumina, LOTS of energy required.

Turning Alumina into Aluminium/Aluminum takes cubic amounts of the above.

I have a mate (RV10 owner also) who is a senior Rio Tinto engineer, and his thoughts on the carbon tax and its affect on his industry would fill a page of 's.

This tax sux, it will do nothing more than kill Australian industry and jobs, and create a bigger burden on the government than it provides. Anyone who can't see this is beyond help.
