Copper Shortage Looms Amid Rising Demand from AI and Clean Energy

Experts are raising concerns about a looming copper shortage driven by increasing demand from artificial intelligence and clean energy sectors. According to NS3.AI, Robert Friedland emphasizes that the mining industry will need to produce as much copper in the next 18 years as it has over the past 10,000 years to support ongoing growth. This potential shortage could lead to a copper supercycle, significantly affecting industrialization and electrification efforts.
