Sorry to flashback, but I joked a while back that Al Den Vor Mann would, in German at least, roughly translate as Aluminium before Man.
 
Which came back to me when I read today that the world's largest aluminium factory was built a year or two back in Iceland by Alcoa. Along with the world's largest dams, built to power the factory.
 
"These dams are designated solely to generate energy for one massive ALCOA aluminium smelter to be built by war-profiteers Bechtel in the beautiful fjord of Reydarfjördur, and due to be operational in 2007."
 
Mining, environmental disaster, Iceland, the US.
 
Kute Korrespondences, yes.
