That's a lot of aluminum. Aluminum requires a lot of electrical energy to refine or to recycle. Based on the one engineer's comment about 130,000 MWh per year, though, it will take about half a year for this plant to output the amount of energy required to refine that much aluminum.

["On an average Indian smelters consumes 15000 KWH to 16500 KWH per ton of aluminum as against 14000 to 14500 KWH per ton consumed by global smelters" (http://www.indiainfoline.com/sect/alum/ch07.html). So a highish average to use for an approximation might be 15 MWH/Ton, processing about 1500 tons, requires 52.5 GWh.]

Haldaug has fixed this video's dead embed code - no Power Points awarded because Haldaug was awarded too recently.
