You know how I tend to solve all your problems? Okay not all of them. Maybe some of them. I told you to shoot seeds from a gun, for easier planting. And I gave you tech support here. I even told you my secret for hanging wallpaper.
And now I’m
saving you—and the world—with my solution to the power grid crisis. Yes, even Forbes
magazine published warnings of energy fragility just this last September,
citing electric vehicles, AI, internet traffic, and rising electricity demands
in all areas.
So, here’s the secret: Everything should be glow in the dark. Imagine it—roads, street lights, cars, homes, buildings, walkways, closets—everywhere we now think has to be lit with the flip of a switch, could simply glow instead.
I know, I know, you’re remembering Marie Curie and thinking such radiation is dangerous. But times have changed. (Warning: Scientific explanation coming up.)
Tritium, a radioactive isotope of
hydrogen, replaced the radium in the phosphor dyes that used to coat the dials
of clocks and watches. Now it’s
relatively safe, as it doesn’t emit alpha particles. As long as you don’t eat it or chew on it, no
worries!
Things made of
photoluminescent phosphors are also safe. Ditto glow in the dark products that
use non-toxic phosphors like zinc sulfide or strontium aluminate. Glow sticks
that break and release liquid can irritate eyes and mouths, so (duh) keep from
children.
Imagine how
much electricity we could save with these amazing products! Your light bill
could almost vanish. Once again, my brain has delivered a sure-fire solution
for the future. I just need one of you to take it and run.
AND… don’t forget to buy this super inexpensive
but timeless classic of mine for Christmas presents!
