@WiteWulf@cyberplace.social Aussie steelmaking and oil refining. huge amounts of iron ore and crude mined in Oz, but... "Despite some interest in expanding capacity for energy security reasons, analysts consider building new refineries difficult to justify commercially, citing the high cost and long development time." plus given Oz is almost out of crude reserves, onshore refining to protect against global supply chains makes zero sense if... you rely on those same global supply chains to provide you with refinable crude! https://archive.ph/VXK18
