'Lights will go out' by 2015 if Lords rejects Planning Bill link
"The lights will go out across the UK in seven years if the Planning Bill coming up for review this week is rejected in the House of Lords, according to a leading business trade body. It estimates the country needs £100bn of investment in major energy plants by 2020." |

Worked out quite well, actually VERY well.

Just add radium, tritium or other appropriate radioactive isotope to get a radioluminescent light source. Or just recharge it with sunlight, your kerosine lamp or other light source. It glows for hours.
doped strontium aluminate

I have that much faith in the UK govts ability to keep the lights on that I've just spent 3.3k on beefing up insulation and draught proofing, and installing solar hot water  . |

I have a coal fueled heating system; I was about to rip it out and replace with gas but I'm having second thoughts. The back of my garage could hold 4 or 5 years supply of coal. Tempting. |
