gold isn't used in any electronics, to any material degree. And whatever is used is in the process of being replaced. Now Lizzie.. I suggest you rethink that response and perform some more rudimentary research.. query Gold recycling, electronics. Here.. I'll even help you out.. Some companies say recovering large amounts of those metals could help offset recycling costs. A single computer contains only a fraction of an ounce of gold, but in an average shipping unit of H-P computer equipment, there might be eight or 12 ounces of gold. On a day when gold closes at $680 an ounce, that’s $3,600 worth of gold in one box. portfolio.com Now maybe if you're strictly referring to current and future electronic technologies, you might be correct (since the POG makes it cost prohibitive to use it in the first place). But there was a time when gold was very "eco" to use, back in the days when it was $250-300/ounce. And that's the very stuff that's being recycled now. Hawk
