Domestic Aluminum Resources: Dilemmas of Development. Volume I.

Abstract

This report provides an assessment of the nonbauxitic alumina and aluminum research and development trends in this country, and makes recommendations to redirect the Government's research assistance toward reducing the capital and energy costs associated with domestic aluminum manufacture. Unless the Government's aluminum research and development effort is refocused and revitalized in the context of other related policy decisions, its expenditures will come to naught, and increasing domestic demand for aluminum will be met by imports.
