Sometimes we are (high tension lines) - but it weighs too much and has too high a resistance for "normal" use.

When Was The Electric Iron Invented? When Was The Electric Iron Invented?
The electrons in the current have a lot of energy due to the tiny electric force on each one and the very large number of electrons involved. As they move from atom to atom in a metal conductor, some of this energy redistributes to the metal atoms. This energy causes the conductor atoms to move faster, which means they get hotter, and the heat flows to the surface of the iron.
No, iron is a very poor conductor compared to other metals such as aluminum and copper
