@Felthry copper is pupy and i think it's neat that it's used often in wiring
@xenon the only real negative thing about its use for wiring is the fact that its conductivity plummets when you try to alloy it with stuff to make it have better mechanical properties
brass is like a quarter the conductivity of copper, and bronze even lower, and even beryllium copper is really low conductivity
tellurium copper is about the only one that maintains most of the conductivity but it's really expensive and not *that* much better mechanically
