Dana,
There are probably some others, but you can buy #6 copper use-2 green online by
the foot ($0.64) from
https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/6-awg-xlp-use-2-rhh-rhw-2-building-wire.html
and Platt is selling #4 Al use-2 green for ($0.23)
https://www.platt.com/platt-electric-supply/USE-Type-Aluminum/Multiple/4USEAGREX1000/product.aspx?zpid=69642
If you were buried with the 10,000 feet, folks would remember you as
well-grounded.

I have tried to find green #6 USE. #6 thhn & thhnw are not rated for sunlight
as I have been informed. I have seen #6 USE in green offered but on inquiry it
was only available if I purchased 10,000 Lft. When I pass on, I guess they
could wrap me in it, electrify it & drop me in a hole someday down the road.
