Copper - by Mark Wauck - Meaning In History
"Not long ago I read an article about how difficult it is to produce usable copper—the mining and refining processes are quite complex and difficult to scale up.

Here are the tweets:

Humans mined 700 million tons of copper over the last 5,000 years. The same 700 million tons will need to be mined over the next 22 years to meet energy transition targets using wind, solar, & electric vehicles. bit.ly/3aJT6gY
The world doesn’t have enough mines operating or planned to replace fossil fuels with wind turbines, solar panels, & battery tech. Opening a new mine takes 16 years on average according to @IEA. counterpunch.org/2022/08/23/is- @SimonMichaux
