The article discusses the household wiring crisis in the U.S. in 1953. Inadequate wiring resulted from numerous electrical appliances in an average house. It mentions that 2,000 watts is the maximum safe load of a general purpose or small appliance circuit. The drive to reduce building costs reportedly aggravates the problems caused by the expanding array of appliances and increased wattage on old ones.

The article presents abstract of several patent reports approved by the U.S. government including "Method for making cable jacket with embedded shield", "Category 8 cable", and "System and method for polishing and lubricating aluminum welding wire".

The article looks at the challenges in the U.S. wire processing sector that could be addressed through technological innovation. It mentions the efforts of recyclers and technology providers to improve the systems for separating the metal from the insulation and coating that surrounds it. It also discusses the sorting or preprocessing of insulated copper wire (ICW), creating end markets for the plastic jackets and coatings of wire and cable, and the popularity of small chopping lines.

The article focuses on the decline in the production rate of wire, cable and other copper products in China and on the increase in the products' production rate in the U.S. It notes that copper producers and recyclers attribute the fluctuation in the market in 2012 to the status of copper as an investment product on the commodities market. It also notes that the U.S. is the world's largest scrap exporter with around three to four million tons of electronic scrap collected annually.

The article highlights several electric fencing options and selecting their energizer in the U.S. Woven wire costs about $1,500 per quarter mile as of February 2006. Barbed wire can harm children, livestock and wildlife. High-tensile electric wire has the most lowest annual cost of ownership among the options. Voltage of the fence energizer is increased between 2,000 to 10,000 volts. INSETS: Wooden versus Plastic Posts;Sturdy Corners: Resisting the Pull.

The author discusses his experiences while growing to be an accomplished artist in the U.S. He says that his mother Urda Wuesthoff Edgar was an educator and artist while his father was an electrical engineer named Robert Benson Edgar. He also mentions how his mother would get some wires from the samples sent by manufacturing companies and then strip the plastic off them and then wove them into cuffs and collar. He adds that the woven cuffs and collar give meaning through form while they also grant knowledge through structuring codes.
