I once hauled aluminum cans for LA to the Kaiser Mead smelter north of
Spokane. That marvelous idea, energy deregulation, put paid to that. It
eventually became more profitable for Kaiser to resell the electricity
than run a smelter.


There is an Alcoa smelter near me. A number of years ago the made more
off selling the electricity than aluminum. I thinkthey quit or really
scaled back on the smelting and just sold electricity.
