“This is where America’s next century of steel is being forged.”
This is the CEO of US Steel saying it will run its coal-based facilities into the ground and leave for non-union states, rather than reinvest in cleaner technologies in the towns that birthed the steel industry. Shameful legacy.

(1/3) When Oklahoma residents were asked why they support Emirates Global Aluminum's potential new #smelter in their state, the answer was clear: #jobs matter. 👷♂️
This figure shows how those who "support" or "somewhat support" the smelter rated the importance of smelter jobs.

China’s CO2 emissions have now been flat or falling for 18 months, starting in March 2024.
This trend continued in the third quarter of 2025, when emissions were unchanged year-on-year.
If this trend starts to move into sustained carbon emissions reduction it would be hugely significant.
