AFAICT the LW service will be ending around the same time that nuclear

Now I can remember some politician, though I cannot remember which one,
saying that around 1965, probably as a way to sell nuclear to the
public, words to the effect of "The electricity generated will be so
plentiful it will not be worth metering it." However it does not seem to
have come about just yet. Not long after that ISTR a report for the GLC
that said that it cost more to collect their rents than they actually
collected and it would be cheaper to let people live rent free, that
never happened either

"Free beer tomorrow".
