Steel is one of the world’s most vital commodities, but producing it is a major source of planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions. The only realistic alternative is “green steel” that uses renewable power and more energy-efficient production techniques.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.
