Paul Re <<Pravin - Re: "They wanted Dresden to be built for copper from the get-go. " That is pure hogwash.>> I don't think it is.

Pravin points still is valid that since Dresden would be a copper fab soon, why not start it as a copper fab instead of paying for the expensive copper switch after already equiping it/building it for Aluminum.
