I hear of so many stories of people dying while trying to steal copper
wire from energized power lines. I thought most lines were steel cored
aluminum. Are they dying for the wrong type of wire, or are they able
to tell the cases where copper actually is used, such as old wire that
has that green corrosion color?

OTOH, I tend to see this as the Darwin Effect doing its job (aside from
the outages it causes).
