Lately
The window's copper story is grid buildout and grid attack rather than mining supply: the White House barred foreign-made grid parts on maintenance grounds, Germany found homemade explosives at two substations and later along power lines in Saxony, and a Raleigh firm brought out a solid-state rival to the transformer. None of that fixes the price shown here.
