Starting from Grid Electricity for PGM Smelting (South Africa / Russia), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Cement and concrete →supply upKeeping the coal-fired Craig plant open preserves coal combustion, which preserves fly ash output used as a supplementary cementitious material in cement and concrete relative to the scheduled shutdown.
66% confidenceNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade) →Prices easeKeeping a coal-fired unit online preserves coal generation and likely trims marginal U.S. demand for pipeline-grade natural gas used in power generation, softening domestic gas pricing.
