Breakingviews - Mining megadeals are poor fix for copper shortage
A long-term deficit of the conductive metal seems likely as the world shifts to renewable energy. Anglo-Teck’s $54 bln merger might seem like an answer, but it’s a one-off and most deals don’t necessarily boost supply. Meanwhile, building new mines looks tough unless prices rise.

Disgraceful is more apt than surreal.
Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion.
