Copper: Humanity’s first and most important future metal
Millions of feet of copper wiring will be required for strengthening the world’s power grids, and hundreds of thousands of tonnes more are needed to build wind and solar farms.
With China’s millions of retail stock market investors reeling from a nearly 40% drop in equity prices over just a few short months, it may not be surprising that some are desperate to slay the bear.
China’s People’s Daily reports on a statue recently erected in the eastern province of Fujian that rather graphically depicts the bull triumphing over the bear.
The bronze statue, 6.1 meters long, 3.4 meters in height and weighing three tonnes, has been drawing crowds and some bemusement says the state paper.
