Originally posted by FirstBubba View PostActually, the ALCOA plant in Marjorie, TX has electricity generated "on-site".
One side of the road is ALCOA. Across the road is IGC (Industrial Generating Corp).
IGC is a huge, on site mined, soft coal fired, electrical generation plant. It does nothing but provide power to ALCOA for aluminum production.
There is also a fairly new ALCOA plant near Neches, TX. It also has the ability to mine soft coal on site for aluminum production.
Near Longview, TX, there is another ALCOA production facility.
Guess what?
On site mined coal generating facility.
There are bauxite deposits in Ark, Ga and Az, but the bulk of ore comes by ship from S. America to the Gulf coast and shipped by rail to production facilities.
The 3 ALCOA facilities in Texas have 3 things in common.
1) on site generating facilities
2) close proximity to soft coal
3) rail service
The bauxite mine in Arkasas hasn't produced anything since 1981. I don't believe the deposits in AL (not AZ) or GA are economically viable. Yes, according to the USGS, the US is 100% reliant on bauxite imports.Last edited by Ontario Honker Hunter; 08-07-2020, 05:24 PM.

For one thing, coal fired power requires immense amounts of water, something that doesn't strike me as being greatly abundant in Texas.
Guess that makes you a "strike out".
Listen, dimwit, Texas isn't all limestone and mesquite, though it has it's share.
The IGC plant in Marjorie has a lake that provides all the water they need.

Jimbo - Here is the text of the link that I provided.
"Donald Trump publicly rebuked a second member of the White House coronavirus taskforce on Monday morning, calling Deborah Birx’s assessment of Covid-19’s spread “pathetic” in a tweet.
Birx warned on Sunday that the coronavirus was entering a new phase in the US and infections were now “extraordinarily widespread” across the country, instead of clustering mainly in a clutch of states and big cities.
That same day, the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, was critical of Birx in an interview with ABC’s This Week.
The US has the world’s largest number of cases at 4.6m, or one-quarter of the global total, and 154,361 deaths. Black, Latino and Native communities are experiencing a disproportionate number of deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But Trump said on Monday morning that it wasn’t the dismal figures which prompted Birx’s assessment, but Pelosi’s criticism. “In order to counter Nancy, Deborah took the bait & hit us. Pathetic!” Trump tweeted."

Again, tariffs aren't going to fix the problem with America's aluminum producers. It's just a fake look-good gimmick for Trump's "Make America Great Again" scheme. And it will backfire in a HUGE way. Very stupid. But he IS very stupid.

Honker mentioned the fact that Trump is very stupid.
Here is a prime example.
"When President Donald Trump connected by phone last week with Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson — perhaps the only person in the party who can cut a nine-figure check to aid his reelection — the phone call unexpectedly turned contentious.
The 87-year-old casino mogul had reached out to Trump to talk about the coronavirus relief bill and the economy. But then Trump brought the conversation around to the campaign and confronted Adelson about why he wasn’t doing more to bolster his reelection, according to three people with direct knowledge of the call. One of the people said it was apparent the president had no idea how much Adelson, who’s donated tens of millions of dollars to pro-Trump efforts over the years, had helped him. Adelson chose not to come back at Trump.
When word of the call circulated afterward, Republican Party officials grew alarmed the president had antagonized one of his biggest benefactors at a precarious moment in his campaign. They rushed to smooth things over with him, but the damage may have been done."

This time the prognosticators are counting the ELECTORAL votes, and not just the popular vote.
The first 2020 battleground electoral map by NBC News was released on Friday, showing Joe Biden holding the lead with 334 electoral votes.
Donald Trump was trailing behind Mr Biden in the new forecasting with just 125 electoral votes. At least 270 votes in the Electoral College are required to secure a victory in the presidential elections.

Why it is so hard to get information about Russian meddling in U.S. elections.
Even our own intelligence reports are edited by the White House.
