Default Re: shop and home wiring advice?

I'm not an electrician but when I had my home inspected before I bought it I talked to the inspector and he said copper is prefered. Something aout mixing copper and aluminum conductors and different expansion and contraction rates with temperature change which = loose connections which = higher resistance which = fire hazzard. I don't know if I got that exactly right but i'm sure he prefered copper.
