RE: RE: RE: Are you people stupid !!!
Actually, the've been using PVC piping for a long time now for larger diameter piping mainly sewer and drains. For water supply and hot water copper is still used as the pipe diameter is smaller. PVC isn't as good for small diameter piping. The 'moron' in question actually focused more on copper for wiring. While I uderstand how you could be confused, the wiring you see in your house isn't actually plastic. The plastic is an outside coating on a copper wire. You can see this if you were to cut a wire and look at the cross section. PVC is not a great conductor. In the event you don't believe me and want to see this for yourself, please don't just cut the first wire you see in your house. Instead ask your mom or your dad to purchase some wire at the local hardware store and have them cut it in half for you.
