Hi Wharf Rat; Re: "High carbon steel sounds like a good way to sequester carbon, instead of putting it in the atmosphere."; BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! -- Carl P.S. For those who don't get the joke, ultra high-carbon steel is about 2% carbon. So a ton of it would "sequester" (g) about 40 pounds of carbon. But steel is made with fossil fuels; steel production already uses 14% of the world's coal consumption. To make a ton of steel requires about 1000 pounds of coke which is made from coal.
