1wThanks for sharing. This is a very important developement. WHY? These data centres need electrical transformers . These transformers need copper or aluminium for the electrical conductors. These centres in conjunction with AI plus companies like BITCOIN and EVs will drive up the demand for these components. (transformers+ copper + aluminium) But there is not enough copper/aluminium mines in the world to handle this increased demand!!! So the price for these commodities MUST increase.
