I don’t have any details but here are a few generalities of which I am convinced.
The impact is always dependent on the volume of activity.
The heating of the metal consumes energy and almost all energy today comes from combustion someplace.(yes there are exceptions)
My brother performs metal casting in his jewelry business. Because he is not manufacturing very much he does not cause much impact on the environment. Because he has windmills on the roof of his building which pump more energy into the grid than he uses, he feels he has significantly reduced his impact on the environment.
