Is a neutron star a perfect electrical insulator?

Neutron stars don't contain any electrons, right? Does that mean that they have precisely zero electrical conductivity? Or is it more complicated than that?

On the contrary, they are very very good conductors.

Neutron stars are in 'beta equilibrium.' This means that there are a small number of protons and electrons. If you have too many neutrons, it is energetically favorable for some of them to beta decay and become protons and electrons. It's somewhere between a 10 to 1 or 20 to 1 ratio of neutrons to protons. 

The protons in the core are under such enormous pressure that they form Cooper pairs. This basically means that protons pair by spin, like electrons filling atomic orbitals. This produces a 'superconductor,' a conducting medium which supports enormous electric currents and magnetic fields.
