| | + | :[[Vladimir Putin]] (Feb 24, 2025): |
| | + | {{Cquote|By the way, we would also be ready to offer [cooperation] to our [[American]] partners – when I say partners, I mean not only administrative and government structures, but also companies – if they showed interest in working together. |
| | + | |
| | + | We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly. |
| | + | |
| | + | That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it. |
| | + | |
| | + | Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.
