    Aluminum requires vast amounts of electricity to process the bauxite ore. If I remember correctly, the factory in Alma, Quebec uses as much electricity as the entire city of Montreal. It has its own hydroelectric dam to supply this power.

    How quickly is Trump going to be able to spin up a power plant to supply something like 400 megawatts of electricity?
