I'm in the US. I certainly could do something like that. I just won't. I hope it works for you. That's a level of debt-based risk that neither myself nor my wife have any interest in. There have been a lot of people throu

Heating and light, yes. You can, and people have throughout the last century and a half, both for heat and light. In terms of winter, the fact that kerosene lanterns provide "a bit of light and a lot of heat" is useful - though t
