For much of the past decade, heavy industry has devoted a substantial portion of CAPEX to developing “end-to-end” digitalized process technology to optimize production in industrial sectors across the board. We’ve been following the transition to 5G, advanced AI, machine learning, BIG Data, and analytics in heavy industry here at Resource Erectors for decades. […]
“While other battery metals including cobalt and nickel are down significantly from highs hit earlier this year, lithium continues to sell at record prices with carbonate prices doubling this year alone.”- ANIMATION: Race is on for global lithium mining domination-mining.com Battery Metals are a Long-Term Priority for Miners and Manufacturers “At today’s price, Tesla […]
“Ian will go down as one of the most damaging and impactful storms in U.S. history, along with 2017’s Hurricane Harvey, which caused $190 billion in total damage and economic loss,” – AccuWeather Founder and CEO Dr. Joel N.

“Business is booming for companies associated with the coal mining industry, with no end in sight.”- Bluefield Daily Telegraph- Wednesday, September 21, 2022 “Based on current economic and market trends, global coal consumption is forecast to rise by 0.7% in 2022 to 8 billion tonnes, assuming the Chinese economy recovers as expected in the […]
Atlas shrugging, essential raw material costs spiking if they’re available at all, environmental obstacles, and the real epidemic of Force Majeure Clauses, a term that far too many of us have become familiar with in the year we’re calling Catch 2022. Sound familiar? “We’re getting half-loads every day now. What used to take me […]
As a refugee from communism herself, Ayn Rand saw the disastrous consequences of the global socialist mindset in action, and the degeneration it can cause in a free market republic, way back in the 1930s. Atlas Shrugged is her prophetic blueprint of the inevitable, logical consequences of illogical socialist thinking. Rand takes the “if […]
Ayn Rand’s landmark novel, Atlas Shrugged is a favorite with philosophers and libertarians alike. But at 1,168 pages Rand’s thesis/manifesto/novel is perhaps not so fondly recalled by those who found it on the required reading list. Engineers, plant managers, and especially heavy industry CEOs enduring turbulent 2022 just might want to dust off the […]
Falling EV Profit Margins in Summer 2022 Elon Musk has called the intense process of getting lithium out of the ground, subsequently refined, and into his Teslas as “the hard part” of the EV manufacturing supply chain. The billionaire engineer with an MBA even went so far as to describe the lithium refiners who […]
High-Cost Energy Crunch Shuts Down Century Aluminum Plant in 2022 At Century Aluminum, 600 laid-off American workers in Hawkesville, Kentucky are paying the immediate penalty for the Biden administration’s aggressive push to green energy.

Great Engineering Toys of the Industrial Revolution at Resource Erectors And we’re not talking about Choo-choo Charlie and his Lionels here. So far in our romp through the history of the Industrial Revolution, we’ve spotlighted the great innovations of engineering such as the steam engine, the precursor to the transistor, and even the very […]
An ongoing series by the heavy industry watchers at Resource Erectors. In our recent article here at Resource Erectors, we focused on two of the unsung Engineering Heroes of the Industrial Revolution. Now it’s time to take a look at two machine innovations that kickstarted the Industrial Revolution using the same criteria. “What would […]
Does Elon Musk Belong on Interesting Engineering’s The 20+ Greatest Engineers of All Time list? We had an enjoyable time here at Resource Erectors, scrolling through this impressive list of engineering Hall of Famers at InterestingEngineering. But from the industrial history point of view, we’d do a bit of renumbering when it comes to […]
