One of copper's advantage over aluminum is its higher electrical conductivity; copper conductivity is nearly 2x that of aluminum. Higher conductivity drives higher efficiency, as less of the power that the motor generates is lost due to heat and resistance. Copper rotors need less material than aluminum rotors to achieve the same performance levels.

In addition to being useful in manufacturing, copper is also a vital dietary nutrient, although only small amounts of the metal are needed for well-being. Copper appears in several enzymes, facilitates the absorption of iron, and helps to transmit electrical signals in the body. In high doses, however, the metal can be extremely toxic. Copper can also saturate the water and soil, posing risks to wildlife. On a more benign level, copper can stain clothing and flesh, as many people have probably noticed.

Besides the fact that copper pots and pans save a great deal of energy through proper heat conduction, it is also very long lasting. It is quite often that copper cooking utensils are used for generation after generation, all the while still looking as good as new. This is yet another advantage that you would get from using copper kitchen cookware because these utensils maintain their luster and show for as long as you want.

Renewable geothermal energy facilities are very aesthetic and pleasing to the eye, and these facilities do not mar the landscape or natural environment the way oil rigs and other fossil fuel recovery efforts can. Geothermal plants will blend in with the natural surroundings, and they can be situated on the oceans and other bodies of water as well. This means less land used for these energy plants, so more can be used for housing and food crops. Building geothermal power generation plants in the ocean maximizes land use and allows many more plants to be erected. This can help meet the global energy needs of the future without causing hunger or overcrowding.
