Idiots writing ad copy don't know carbon and lime are essential components of steel. Might as well try to make ferrite-free steel.Volvo eyes switch to fossil-free steel
Fossil Free Steel is a new term to me. I will remember to ask for it the next time I buy some new steel.

Having fun being so deliberately ignorant? You have never actually researched why a utility invokes rolling blackouts? Or what happens when they do?So the blackouts are only happening in the middle of the day and the power comes back on in the evening? Then, everyone's house is 115 degrees from no AC all day, people crank their AC and plug their cars in all at the same time?

It's not about the carbon in the steel, it's about the carbon released during the production process (specifically the iron-making process) before it becomes steel. Creating a pound of new steel releases up to 2 pounds of carbon into the atmosphere which is why making steel produces almost 10% of CO2 emissions worldwide. If you can develop a cheap and effective way to eliminate that it will have a significant impact.Idiots writing ad copy don't know carbon and lime are essential components of steel.

Well, looked what happened to phone companies and copper wire. They lost customers to cellular, and then they don't have enough to maintain the copper to land line users, yet they have to buy law.
