Show me where it's being done. You can't. This is what power source is used for aluminum production: Power used to smelt the world’s Aluminium, source World Aluminium If you read the WUWT, you'd see why I said aluminum would never be produced by solar or wind power alone. They're too intermittent. You could get around that by storing the intermittent power, but that would be cost prohibitive. .... refining Aluminium is incredibly energy intensive. Aluminium is smelted using Electrolysis. A pot of Aluminium salt is heated up to melting point, then a huge electric current is run through the molten salt for many hours, even days, to separate out the metallic Aluminium.
