And aluminum is about $3,000. So there's been a four-to-one on the fight-one ratio there. What you need to remember about copper, though, versus aluminum, is aluminum is not as flexible. So it is lighter weight. It is less expensive. But for a given amperage, you have to have a large cage wire, for example. And it's also not.
