Copper wires and rebar

(I would prefer this be on both versions because of how much this is) I think that copper wires should be added, they would be crafted using 2 or 3 copper nuggets. They would work like redstone, but instead of having a signal of 15, make it have a signal of 13 or even 10. This would be the tradeoff for letting them go on walls and ceilings, and a copper equivalent to the redstone torch would be a kill switch that could be turned on and off, a copper equivalent to the repeater would be a electrical box (or something along the lines of that) and the copper equivalent of the comparator would just be a voltage tester as an item instead of a block. You could also add rebar to encase the copper wires to prevent them from being destroyed or short circuit in water. I just think that this would be a cool idea and another good use for copper since you already added copper golems and equipment as we all begged for. Rebar could also be a slightly better tool variant than copper. I was originally going to ask for induction heaters, but then I realized that that was more of a Create Mod thing.

    Copper wire should have redstone in the recipe too - as part of the natural game logic. Redstone IS Minecraft electricity. Copper wire is one-directional redstone, so it doesn't replace other redstone machines but does trim down and simplify logic. I do like the weaker signal to, but think a full ingot is more balanced. 

    Copper buttons and pressure plates should work with copper wire and they should still oxidize for different signal strengths. 

    Copper should be added to redstone recipes too - copper is standard in electricity.

    Think about how steampunk and cool industrial districts would look with this added!
