Heat tape, which doesn't waste 5% of the electricity as light :-) With a thermostat so that it only comes on when needed.

Oh, and as a matter of fact, I still have a rotary dial phone, mounted on the kitchen wall. Inherited from the previous owner of the house. And when the power was out for about 4 hours a couple of months ago, it still worked.
