Both cheap and renewable. Aluminum was at one time priced a thousand times higher than gold for even an ounce. There were many years going into World War 2 of an aluminum shortage but these fears proved totally unfounded. Today there is actually a glut of Aluminum so the cheap energy is a market necessity as the demand for Aluminum ingots simply is not there as it was during World War 2. Steel remains the dominant metal for production as it is far more malleable and far less energy intensive to create...and thus far cheaper. Also steel is 100% recyclable leaving Aluminum stuck in the soda popDoctor Zhivago– Doctor Zhivago2016-10-27 21:50:12 +00:00Commented Oct 27, 2016 at 21:50

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. world-war-two), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
