I guess this means copper can do the same job that silver does at a lower cost as long as it’s slightly thicker. So, only reason why someone would choose silver wire over copper is environmental, right? gonk, I remember your input about some chemical plants having to invest on gold cables due to corrosive environment it is going in.

curegeorg, is it safe to assume that the area you live in has a condition (high humidity & salt vapor from ocean) which makes silver more suitable than copper?
