Answer 3

Very high at the moment. What have you got?

Answer 4

High enough that idiots have been electrocuted trying to steal it from electrical substations.

And then their families sue the power company for electrifying all that d**n copper.  Crazy.

Answer 5

High enough for some silly berk from Newport to give himself the shock of his life last week. He took 11,000 volts from a sub-station. Needless to say he didn't get to weigh it in. . . he just checked out.

At this moment, copper is currently running $3.94/lb.  I posted a link for you below.
