I know a guy trying to make glow-in-the-dark kudzu to solve the problem of unlighted backroads by turning the south into fairyland. I'd love to see him succeed. I get the appeal of creative lighting. The prospect of LED bulbs being crippled or, worse, only smart bulbs that spy on you being available is still ungood. That was why I posted the article, because it's a case of the business model getting in the way of the technology that isn't completely esoteric, and that's a conflict that's often invisible unless you're in the thick of it.
