This is very great news for American manufacturing.

$4B facility, 1,000 jobs, and will double our aluminum smelting capacity!

For context since 1980, aluminum smelting production has dropped more than 80% since then. Relying on imports these days.

Now EGA and Century Aluminum are putting $4B+ into Inola, Oklahoma. 750,000 tonnes/year.

This will double US production (huge win), construction starting this year, and aiming to have the first production run by 2029.

Energy will be a large concern in my eyes, but I am sure these people have a plan.

America is remembering how to build things again.
