Nope, that would be silver.
Now, if you consider cost-effectiveness, that's another matter. But that's
not what the man said.
What he said (or was quoted as saying):
“Copper remains the best electrical conductor available and this will be
more and more important in a world where energy efficiency is a priority,”
"Available" can easily be taken to mean "feasible in cost". In that
sense, super conductors are not available just as silver is not. "Best"
can also be taken to mean "least costly".
Which brings to mind aluminum. As I understand, aluminum is "better"
than copper in that it moves more power with lower weight and cost.
