RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:My two cents worth

Thats odd.. my electical supplier just last year changed the feed into my home from copper to aluminum when there was an issue with shorting out copper due to settlement stress on the wires which in turn broke a few copper strands.. their reason was that aluminum was safer if slumping continued because it wouldn't arc... thereby causing a fire..

Why is aluminum not used in wiring?

It's not a big problem when copper wiring rusts, since the copper oxide that forms is electrically conductive. ... When aluminum wiring rusts, the white oxide is not a very good electrical conductor. It does interfere with the flow of electricity, and again, can cause overheating

other than aluminum there are other metals which similarly could be substituted.
