But copper, in abnormally high concentrations in the blood, can kill very quickly. So it is very dangerous stuff! Thus

we must stop strip mining it to save Mother Earth and in fact we need to keep it buried. We need to sequester the copper that is already out there and bury it so it can return to the Earth! We can't wait! This needs to be done immediately!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Good article and brutally honest. It's about time!

"[S&P Global is] making no policy recommendations, only contributing to the dialog on how to reach 2050 net-zero goals.

Now if all these analysts and policy wonks would step back, take a deep breath, and question the very thing underlies this ridiculous "net-zero goal" -- the notion that man is causing the climate to change by burning fossil fuels. If people would finally realize this is a hoax, then we could stop the insane pell mell rush to remake every aspect of all of our energy-based systems.

it actually pays to tie on to the big end of a harness in a car and pull till no more comes out (with a machine o course)

[jughandle]

Does this mean we’re going to have people stripping wire and plumbing from homes again?

[Da Coyote]

Heh, that’s one of N problems with the engineering-challenged left’s energy plans. And N is a really big number.

[Dr. Sivana]

I am in Arizona, the Copper State. We have have copper mines here. Time to reopen? Hmmm?

[crz]

I know where there is a whole lot of copper..not in AZ either.

Some of it is up to 96% pure.
But sorry..just about that whole area is a nation historical site now.

Copper prices sink, flashing another recession warning (Fox Business published today).

As a side note to this thread, a question.

From the title of the following FR link, does anybody know if the claimed 500,000 pounds of earth really has to be dug to find enough lithium for ONE EV lithium battery?

Is driving an electric car immoral? Here's what they DON'T tell you 'You dig up 500,000 pounds of the earth's crust for just one battery' (6.19.22)

[matt04]

Also factor in the increase in copper needs to wire and install all those chargers.

Another Recession Warning: Falling Copper Prices

An electric auto requires seven times more copper than does a standard gasoline auto.

[beethovenfan]

If there’s a copper shortage, why is the price tanking?

[AlaskaErik]

The Democrats and their eco-fascist allies have shut down the Pebble Mine in Alaska, which would have produced a lot of copper.
