{"product_id":"aluminum-999-1-gram-bar","title":"Aluminum .999 1 Gram Bar","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eA record 100 million tons of aluminum are now produced every year the making of which uses an astonishing one \u003cem\u003etrillion \u003c\/em\u003ekilowatt hours. Your average American home, for comparison, draws a little over 10,000 kw\/h each year. Maybe only a piece of useless trivia, and this might be a bit of an oversimplification, but to put it into context one can therefore say that your home’s entire electric bill could make just a single ton of this metal. That’s not much. A ton of aluminum would take up the volume of your fridge. No, not that fridge. A mini fridge the sort that is meant to keep your beer cold while you watch a game. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eAluminum ores are common throughout the world therefore its production cost is largely tied up in the cost of electricity. Little wonder then that China, where environmental concerns take a backseat to economic growth and coal (the cheapest of industrial of fuels) is used indiscriminately to crank out those kilowatts, is the leading producer of the world’s aluminum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eYou won’t be surprised to learn that this sliver of pure aluminum came from China - nor that it costs less than a buck. Or to learn the even more useless trivia bit that it took approximately one watt for a whole hour to make this little bar!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luciteria","offers":[{"title":"1 bar","offer_id":47746604171429,"sku":"Al1g_bar","price":4.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8833\/6805\/files\/Al_282_29_f0b31a08-5fa9-4536-bd55-f8b10dddccb3.webp?v=1778165764","url":"https:\/\/luciteria.com\/products\/aluminum-999-1-gram-bar","provider":"Luciteria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
