So I have to ask, in the 130-or-so year history of electrical circuits, wiring and transmission, has there EVER been a copper shortage so severe that aluminum wiring was actually an economically more viable option? Is there ANY advantage at all to aluminum wiring no matter how small? It is my understanding that aluminum is one of the most common metals in the earth but copper isn't exactly scarce.
