Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Speira Kelemania i ka lā 7 Kepakemapa e ʻoki ʻo ia i ka hana alumini ma kāna hale kanu Rheinwerk e 50 pakeneka mai ʻOkakopa ma muli o nā kumukūʻai uila kiʻekiʻe.

Ua manaʻo ʻia ua ʻoki ʻia nā smelters ʻEulopa i ka 800,000 a 900,000 tonnes / makahiki o ka puka alumini mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kumukūʻai ikehu i ka makahiki i hala.Hiki ke ʻoki ʻia kahi 750,000 tonnes o ka hana ʻana i ka hoʻoilo e hiki mai ana, ʻo ia ka manaʻo o kahi ākea nui i ka lako alumini ʻEulopa a me nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO ka ʻoihana hoʻoheheʻe alumini he ʻoihana ikaika.Ua piʻi hou aʻe nā kumukūʻai uila ma ʻEulopa ma hope o ka ʻoki ʻana o Rūsia i nā lako kinoea i ʻEulopa, ʻo ia hoʻi ka nui o nā mea hoʻoheheʻe ʻia e hana ana i nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā kumukūʻai mākeke.
