I'm buying as many bulbs as I can. They will be worth millions some
day.

Do you have room? Isn't your investment storage unit filled to the
ceiling with CRT monitors/tvs, phonograph players, betamax vcrs, and
circuit city divx players?


I'll build a pole building with 20 foot tall electric fences covered
with razor wire.


Yeah, but you're still using DC. Being 1/2 mile from the power plant is
expensive.


There is a company in Japan that builds atomic powered AC generators down
to about one megawatt. I'll sell the bulbs and buy one. Wait,, if I sell
the bulbs I won't need AC.


Nah. Go with a diesel generator, if you're sticking to 19th century
technology.
