    We have enough copper for a lot more than that, depending on how far and deep we want to go

      Well, that’s a big component: how efficient / environmentally destructive is the mining?

      Also, as electricity consumption in areas like China, India, Africa increases, they’re going to start needing big multiples of the amount of copper used in the US/Europe/ANZ to-date.
