http://ThoriumRemix.com/ Appliances, we chop up old rail cars. Demolished bridges, buildings.  Whatever.

We load scrap into large haul trucks. Back up into this bucket and dump scrap inside.

That's dozens of cars.
Yeah. A lot of cars.

That bucket probably has 140 tons of scrap metal in it right now.

I told them if they see anything go boom to run behind you. That's still the standard protocol?

That's right I've got Kevlar on.
Alright you guys do the same we're all getting behind.

So you've been able to drop your power consumption by ton almost by a third it looks like.

Probably since the mid-early-80s.

So besides your scrap material input, what's you next largest cost on production?

Electricity.
Electricity.
