Or: why technological solutions often turn into their own problems a century or so down the line
Potentially yes. But there's a big proviso, which is that as I understand it it's very difficult to run an EAF on wind power alone because it doesn't do strong bursts of energy. You need something else too - hydrogen or batteries maybe...
When the wind blows, the cost of electricity in Scotland is so low the price is often negative. Surely these are prime sites for electric arc furnaces
