I approve of recycling as a concept, but it has to be economically viable.

There are problems in the original materials industry, too. A friend who buys steel from US Steel in Cleveland told me yesterday that US will try to honor orders submitted this year, but does not intend to fill orders placed in January. Sounds like demand is so low that it’s not economical to run the mill at all.

I agree with you...

From what little I've read on it, recycling metals (especially Aluminum) saves money, simply because the processes used to smelt them are so energy-intensive.

The rest is just demand-driven fluff.

I'm reviewing Atlas Shrugged.

How eerie.

Where is Hank Reardon when we need him?

You can still get Mexican and Chinese steel!
