Those threads seem a bit "slow" but info valuable. Why not post it here? Would get more exposure to people who are interested. This quote: "A car contains about 50 pounds of copper, according to industry estimates" Was also commented on by Friedland of IVN. I don't remember exactly how it was put but something along the lines that China has 1 car per 100 people and gov't wants get to 10 cars per 100 people or something close to that. If you take into account the population of China that is a lot of copper! Wayne
