Hehe,, funny name!! Anyways, thanks for the insightful link to point out the future demand of steel (read: moly). When we think as penny-wise taxpayers, I believe we would all agree that the gov't should use extra high quality steel (read: moly) when re-building these structures as they are so expensive to undertake and clog (even more) urban ceters like Montreal during constuction. For newbies, higher % of moly adds strength and life to steel without increasing the overall price by very much. Some research indicates a future industry wide trend to "over-engineer" some projects so they last longer without failing (good for bridges right?). I hope others on this board also post news of big steel jobs like pipelines, bridges, power plants, etc to this site. Also, please post stories of other moly mine closures and/or moly supply issues.
