The AUS has long since moved along from energy-intensive street lamps and light bulbs, conserving hundreds of billions of kilowatts in doing so. Instead, they use what are commonly known as glowvines. Glowvines extend through walkways, buildings, corridors, and trails all across the State. In some places they are left to grow wantonly; others carefully curtail the vines into beautiful patterns. They are often grown in pockets of soil kept inside or below utility poles, which -- like water and gas piping -- have their own piping to carry nutrients into the soil and continue feeding the vines. Even in places where they are not well maintained, glowvines still do not grow out of control because they are modified to take in a very specific nutrient diet; regular soil just won't do. As a bonus, the bluish lighting put out by glowvines is very beneficial to the majority of Brumas's plant life, which takes in blue UV rays with extreme efficiency.
