Ov1, a Taoist Bitcoiner on Nostr: Fiat financing of government subsidies in the US make Portland cement artificially ...
Fiat financing of government subsidies in the US make Portland cement artificially cost effective. There are much better solutions, but they cannot compete on price point when those manufacturers are getting government handouts.
This doesn't just apply to cement , but steel as well. Research MgO 'cerami-crete' and 'suda-glass' basalt, those materials are superior across the board, from environmental impact to functional performance, yet almost no one has heard of them let alone where to buy them.
Simply put, what gets built in what gets subsidized, financed, insured, & 'permitted', NOT what produces the best results.
