Power industry changes

[magoo2]

I'm trying to get a handle on when different trends in the power industry were started. For example, you see some copper wire on overhead systems, but utilities switched to aluminum quite some time ago.

Is there a link that tracks some of the more significant changes?

berkshire,

That sounds like a big step in the right direction. Over here some of the scrap dealers are rather less reputable than others. If I was of a mind to do so, I know a few places where I could offload illegally obtained scrap without any questions being asked. I expect quite a few of you could say the same thing. In defence of the UK's police I also understand that they have caught a few of the 'less than reputable' dealers in sting type operations.
