Copper price is up ~500% since 2000 btw, this is already downregulating its use. Not sure what your benchmark for shortage is, but if we had similar price development with fuel people would've gone ballistic. It's quite possible that this will further escalate over the next decades, because demand is continuously rising and mining/recycling is not keeping up with it. | ||
