China and Peru each produce about as much copper as the U.S. does. Chile produces about 3x as much and estimates of it's reserves have been upped recently. No other country comes close. Why are we selling scrap to asia? This seems short sighted at best. They're putting it back into electronics that end up in WalMart. Recycled scrap accounts for a significant portion of copper usage. Maybe we need to think about less harmful ways to satisfy our copper needs.
