Remarkable that the @nytimes.com can publish a long read titled The World Has Too Much Steel and entirely confuse excess steel production with excess capacity.
Ocf they have a point, there's too much steel & geopolitical rivalry means no one wants to produce less. But they're off by a factor of 5

The debate on French nationalisation of Europe's biggest steelmaker is heating up. ArcelorMittal is struggling in Europe, but investing heavily in coal-based production in India. French trade unionists want "Metal without Mittal!"
