Probably more to do with Capitalism than being green, the new process looks like a less expensive way to make steel. Nice to hear that one of the plants is in the U.S. though.

Seriously!?
It seems that recent events have damaged people to the point where they have become Incredulous to anything positive that is done by governments or companies no matter how much direct evidence is right in front of them.

1) Sweden has always been a big proponent of going Green and 10% cuts in emissions would be huge.
2) There are lots of well known ways of making steel that would be cheaper, just ship the Ore to China and they will be more than happy to ship back finished steel at a low price.
3)The article clearly stated the HDR was developed specifically to make the production of Steel cleaner.
4) The Swedish Government did not need to back this venture, it's not like cheap steel is not available everywhere.
