I thought Induction Furnaces are more effective than Electric Arc Furnaces in the terms of electric consumption. Anyway, the link of Anglesey Aluminum didn't mention the details of their type of furnace. The assumption if Anglesey Aluminum had Induction furnace or not - the main reason of shutdown of that industry was financial issue [or electric consumption?]. The shutdown of Anglesey Aluminum saved United Kingdom a lot of money. Although the economy is nothing but delusion.
Honestly, I prefer the electric based furnaces without polluted exhaust of any kind, so less pollution for the Earth's biosphere. I am more concerned our Earth's environment rather than clinging on the delusion such as an economy. If the problem was electric consumption, why don't we build another nuclear factory? Why don't we invest more resources for more effective method to reduce the electric consumption?
