Why it matters

The steel context.

Modern US steelmaking is shifting from coal-fired blast furnaces to electric-arc furnaces — lower emissions, lower energy intensity, and capital structures closer to chip fabs than 20th-century mills. Many of these projects are explicitly tied to downstream EV and renewable-energy manufacturing, creating short, vertically-integrated US supply chains.
