Was it less than $950 worth of copper? If so, it's a misdemeanor. Forget it.

Copper is really that much? I think I have close to 1000 lbs saved up. Time to do some work. It's worth more cleaned up. Lots of hard work though. Very heavy metal.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted 56-42 to confirm former Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, tasked with rolling back climate rules from former President Joe Biden that were aimed at slashing emissions from vehicles, power plants and factories.
