There's probably millions of tons of unused copper wire formerly used for telephone land lines nailed to poles unused. I wonder when we're going to start taking that down instead of despoiling natural wonders like the proposed Pebble Mine in Alaska

Even the power poles can be recycled: https://illumination.duke-energy.com/articles/how-duke-energ....

and some can be left with perhaps a top platform added as nest sites.
