Watch CDA President Adam Estelle's powerful testimony to the House Committee on Natural Resources!  In this pivotal moment for American copper, Adam outlines the critical role copper plays in our future and calls for action: permit reform, incentives for smelting & refining, and a scrap export ban. "This is a Sputnik moment for American Copper" #CDA #CopperForTheFuture #CopperPowersProgress

Changing loads repeatedly heat and cool busbar joints. Aluminum expands about 35% more than copper, placing greater stress on connections. In accelerated-aging tests, copper joints maintained more stable performance. #CopperPowersProgress #CDA #CopperPowersData
