That's the other featured form of so called "renewable energy" that is featured on the "Saving Iceland" website.

Pushing for 8 new hydroelectric plants in Iceland

A rather big consumer of aluminum is the car industry, including the famous or infamous subsidized "Tesla" car for millionaires and billionaires which is inexplicably rather popular with a subset of human beings who call themselves "environmentalists," although personally, I hardly see the members of this set as being particularly concerned with the environment.

But that's just me...

In fact the lightweight and strong metal, aluminum, is very popular with the "efficiency will save us" crowd.

We know these kinds of people well, the sort who drive to the shopping mall at Christmas in their coal powered electric car to buy Sierra club calendars with pictures of Yosemite from back in the days when their was snow on El Capitan so that come summer, when people come over for a steak cook out with hormone free dead cows, everyone seeing the calendar can be inspired to talk about what a shame it is that those evil corporations are trashing the environment.
