This isnt the first time its been like this.

Copper has been high before. 20+ years ago we used to climb the poles along the railroad tracks and cut down the bare copper abandoned telegraph wire that ran for miles. Copper ran up to $1.20lb and between 2 poles we could get about 300lbs. We would pull between 1 and 2 tons a night. Best part was getting caught up a pole when a train came by, or climbing one covered with poison ivy. Dodging rail dicks was fun too.

Electrical substations were not safe either with all those aluminum connectors around.
