Just as a note, isn't this kind of silly?  As I observed, many generators 
(and no doubt more in 2081) require _nuclear_ energy.  But according to the 
miracle description, you can't use this miracle on things that require 
Nuclear energy, even though the Glow itself is powering the miracle.  
Rather, you can only use it on stuff that requires _electricity_.

Besides, a generator or battery typically powers _other_ things - wouldn't 
it just be easy to power up those things, that require electricity, rather 
then the generator/battery (which does not require electricity to generate 
electricity)?

Again, this description seems to imply some kind of storage capability.  
Either way, it's maddeningly vague...
