Subject: USD Steel tanks

With all this hoopla concerning USD now selling steel tanks, could 
this mean that eventually, north america will see large-scale use of 
steel tanks, like in Europe?

A positive point, from now would be that a greater volume of steel 
tanks would drive prices down.

What's so fascinating about aluminium tanks, anyway? They're cheaper 
to make, for sure, 'cause I understand that AL tanks can be 
cold-rolled.

But what is exactly the manufacturing process, both for steel and 
aluminium tanks?

Is there really a justification for the 3x price for steel tanks 
(compared to AL)???

  While  everybody is busy saying that "Government is the biggest threat
  to individual liberties", they  don't notice that free speech is being 
  hacked and slashed by big corporations with unlimited legal budgets.
