Resistance may vary according to the alloy type, but it's still conductive. In fact Aluminum wiring has been banned for most residential construction because it has a strange characteristing that causes resistance to go down as the temperature goes up. That has supposedly led to fires under certain circumstances.
Hmm... did I miss something in Chem class in High School, or is aluminum non-conductive as it's used in consumer goods like cans and ladders?
