They will if power companies are buying it up by the trainload to

Is it really this difficult for you to get a point? Would a catcher's
mitt help?


When you are making **** up I have a hard time catching it. The power
company has no use for a piece of wire someone could carry. They work
off of 1000' spools. They are not going to be splicing short pieces
together.


That all depends on how desperate they are for wire...

Which, I believe, was Doug's point.
