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!
"[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)
Does this mean we’re going to have people stripping wire and plumbing from homes again?
Heh, that’s one of N problems with the engineering-challenged left’s energy plans. And N is a really big number.
I am in Arizona, the Copper State. We have have copper mines here. Time to reopen? Hmmm?
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.
No can do. Might endanger the marl-crested Gobson's titwipe, one of the most endangered species in the world.
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)
Never mind all the new large copper wires needed for charging stations.
Of course there are going to be a lot less cars in the road. Take a bus or a train. Bike.
The “copper shortage” could be solved immediately if the research labs can make available a “room-temperature” Superconductor material that has ZERO impedance for the flow of electrical current. There are a number of discoveries that allow such a superconductor to operate at very low temperatures, but only in the presence of liquid helium, which exists only about 4 degrees K above absolute zero.
Copper is actually a kind of clumsy way of transmitting electrical energy. but it is just about the best available for today’s engineering.
What we need is a good solar flare like in 1859. That would fix things fast.
“I am in Arizona, the Copper State. We have have copper mines here. Time to reopen? Hmmm?”
Naa, the Globalist policy, for quite a while now, is to absolutely TRASH Third World countries for the resources we need to cut down fossil fuel usage.
” ...Might endanger the marl-crested Gobson’s titwipe, one of the most endangered species in the world. “
And mighty tasty, I might add, in a nice béchamel sauce with some broiled leeks and parsnips; ... and a nice “kee-an-tee”. Let me know if you see any, I’m giving a dinner.
Also factor in the increase in copper needs to wire and install all those chargers.
Keweenaw County, Michigan, eh?
If copper is in such demand, then why has the price for it DROPPED, not risen?
Daniel Yergan - leftist journalist. Trust but verify, twice!!
Copper country.
