HAHAHA. I can go back and read 100 posts I made asking these idiot greenheads “and you people think thieves and vandals aren’t just going to rip out all the copper from these things?” I am sure they will all be just fine on the progressive forward thinking clean streets of Portland, Seattle, and San Fransicko.

Copper thrives are not just limited to this. A Safeway Supermarket in Mesa Arizona had the cooper stolen from its refrigeration system. As a result they had to toss out thousands of dollars of food. The thieves probably only got a few bucks.

Did you forget the /sarc addendum? People have been stealing copper for decades from power lines. Some of the stories are funny where the perp is electrocuted cutting the wire.

$2000.00 to replace a cable they are stealing for $10 worth of copper. This is the type of waste that runs rampant when you stop throwing the book at criminals.
To: Red Badger
Who’d a thunk it. How many cables can you put into a tesla?
To: Nateman
Blame the people who buy the scrap. without a high price, theives arent stealing walmart plactic bags...
Its the shady recyclers in the business to blame.

Those prices quoted are no where near real life at a scrap yard. MAYBE wires will get about $3 a pound but probably not even $2 because a scrap yard will NEVER pay the advertised price. Recycling metal for me (fab and machine shop) costs more than it is worth by the time I drive it out to the scrap yard. It all goes in the trash.
That being said... Liberal utopias are fun to watch crash down. It is sad though, it destroys so much.

Predicted this long ago. Lots of copper laying on the ground as people start running extension cords out to their cars. Plus all of those Tesla charging stations, most I’ve seen are completely unused.

So the next step will be for EV users to carry cables used to plug into the charging station. Won’t that be fun!
