That reminds me... I looked up bio-luminescence as a way to light homes... it didn't pan out, though. Turns out that most things that are bio-luminescent will "wear out" in a short time, and stop producing light after a short time.

Of course, bio-engineering is pretty far outside my realm of capability, so I can't create a super efficient bio-lume source that only requires a few calories of energy to maintain a lighted condition over an extended period of time.

I have to imagine it would be cheaper to feed some algae a little bit of whatever it is they eat (which could be cultured in your fridge, incidentally) than to run a bunch of light bulbs in your house.
