Copper doesn't get used up. The blue rocks in the picture are basically copper rust. We just need to use it in smart ways...no copper pots or door handles. Or at Least identify and recycle it more efficiently by returning used electronics to the stores we purchased them from. Those places should have a plan on how to dismantle the used electronics and how to reuse the materials.

We're more likely to get copper from asteroids first or die trying

Didn't China just punt off a ticket to some asteroids? Viability tests maybe?
