Summary:
Copper cannot be mined quickly enough to keep up with current U.S. policy guidelines
to transition the country's electricity and vehicle infrastructure to renewable energy,
according to a new study.
Copper isn't the only conducting metal. Long distance lines tend to be steel cored aluminium conductors, and bucky tubes might eventually work even better.
