Global hunt

Watch out for the Meth Freak thieves.
They will search anywhere.
So, if the Greenies get their way. they will be hogging up all the copper for ‘clean energy.’ However, at lease in MY state, they REFUSE to let us mine for copper, LOL! We have TONS of copper in northern Wisconsin. Some of the rivers are YELLOW because of the content of copper in the rocks and the soil! Of course, they want to pillage and plunder OTHER parts of the world, which they always shut up about.
“’Copper will be crucial in achieving decarbonization and replacing oil with renewable energy sources, and right now, the market is facing a supply crunch that could boost the price by more than 60% in four years,’ Goldman Sachs wrote in a report May 2021.
Goldman analysts, led by Jeff Currie, also said that more copper will be needed to create the new infrastructure systems required for clean energy to replace oil and gas, but there has not been enough of a focus on this.
The Goldman team estimates that copper demand will therefore significantly increase by up to 8.7 million tonnes by 2030, if green technologies are to be adopted en masse.”
That’s a lot of strip mining.
Looks like new home construction sites will be needing armed security. Most plumbing is no longer copper but the electrical..... Hard to conduct power using PVC.
Time to go back to wiring houses with aluminum cable.
Trying to pump up a bubble...
Too bad we didn’t follow through on the copper mining plan for Afghanistan. Like the oil in the middle east, we left it for the natives, after all our billions of dollars worth of military and humanitarian assistance was a “gift” from the American People.
I was in Kabul in 2002. The government buildings for one ministry were just shells. All the windows, doors, molding was gone, used for firewood. Even the copper electric wires were ripped out of all the walls.
“... global push for decarbonization.” Globull Gloaming. One of the biggest scams and hoaxes in the entire history of scams and hoaxes.
I created a wonderful sign and placed it in a very visible place in my cubicle: Large Carbon Footprints Make For Happy Trees. Drives the leftists crazy. For those few who actually want to discuss it, I remind them about what we used to teach in our schools, the Carbon Cycle. Most of the life on Earth is carbon-based life. No carbon, no life.
Long ago I ceased using the term ‘fossil fuel’ and replaced it with hydrocarbons. There are oceans of hydrocarbons on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. I sincerely doubt that dinosaurs and savanna existed on those moons millions of years ago. We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. Every year the ‘known’ reserves of hydrocarbons increases. We will have oil and natural gas for thousands of years. The more C02 we exhale, the more plants will use.
Ah, but Michigan and Wisconsin STILL HAVE millions of tons of copper in the bottoms of their deep mines. Mines shut down in the 70s and 60s. Too expensive to hire union miners. African slave labor is cheaper.
