The quantitative metrics, specifically the amount of copper needed per MW of generation capacity for wind and solar, basically rely on two sources: citations 9 and 10 (both from the "Leonardo Energy" site). I have managed to download the whitepaper on "Wind Generator Technology," (might be nice to insert this direct link in the citation) but cannot find the other reference. Furthermore "Wind Generator Technology" does not specifically discuss copper use.

In fact, many of the citations come from Leonardo Energy. But that site does not have a good search functionality. Direct links to the sources would really help.

There is one discussion on the amount of copper needed in wind here, but it is vague enough to not really be able to do the calculation. It cites some report that Oak Ridge National Laboratory did, but I cannot find any mention of that report anywhere else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.254.147.8 (talk) 14:17, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These are important numbers, and even more important to get right. If anyone knows of proper citations for them, please strengthen the article by adding them.
