good, I truly think it should be ajoke. like it or not it is funny..

Wonder what copper wire is worth.. thought the price went down when wars slowed down.. maybe it all went back up..

I should mention these old light/traffic signal posts they open and rip out the wire have a sealed access at the base and after removing they pull out all the wire and are gone in 60 seconds or so it seems.. and when it started those old panels were not in any warehouse and finding them was a challenge.. so lights were out for days if not weeks..

LEDs do have a dark side.
A study published in late 2010 in The Journal of Environmental Science and Technology found that LEDs contain lead, arsenic, and a dozen other potentially dangerous substances.
LEDs are touted as the next generation of lighting,” says Oladele Ogunseitan, one of the researchers behind the study and chair of the University of California (UC)-Irvine’s Department of Population Health & Disease Prevention.
“But as we try to find better products that do not deplete energy resources or contribute to global warming, we have to be vigilant [about] toxicity hazards".
Ogunseitan and other UC-Irvine researchers tested several types of LEDs, including those used as Christmas lights traffic lights, car headlights, and brake lights.
What did they find? Some of the worst offenders were low-intensity red LEDs, which were found to contain up to eight times the amount of lead, a known neurotoxin, allowed by California state law and which, according to researchers, “exhibit significant cancer and noncancer potentials due to the high content of arsenic and lead.” Meanwhile, white LEDs contain the least lead but still harbor large amounts of nickel, another heavy metal that causes allergic reactions in as many as one in five of us upon exposure.
And the copper found in some LEDs can pose an environmental threat if it accumulates in rivers and lakes where it can poison aquatic life.
