Rock & metal: How to make steel

We all use steel. It’s one of the most important metals in the world.

From rocks on the dockside in Wales to the scorching furnaces of UK steelworks, Economics and Data Editor Ed Conway explains how this vital metal is made.

I love this. Shows the public just how much goes into things they take for granted.

as a country, we need to keep producing our own steel so we can have control over our resource

this is good from Sky and normally I complain about Sky.

If the UK choses to continue with a steel industry, it needs to move past this 100 year old technology. It needs to adopt hydrogen technology like Sweden or molten oxide electrolysis like the US. Either system requires a low cost source of electricity.

Where are the climate ambassadors who live and drive in cars made of steel but will come to protest.

Looks like Aussies have lost the art of producing their own steel. They should focus on shearing sheep since its the only thing they do best
