We can get all the electricity we need from renewable sources. Therefore, this method of smelting aluminum could be carbon free.

There are many ways to get energy. The sun alone has enough energy hitting the earth in ONE DAY to power ALL HUMAN NEEDS - for 27 YEARS.

Aluminum needs to be recycled, which only takes 10% as much energy as smelting it.
