:idea: Just think about the carbon emissions from the power plants that generate the electricity for all these lights. We are destroying the icecaps. Think of the penguins! We need to turn off those lights to save the little blighters :!:

Cute little penguins will win the argument, dark skies won't. Let's start a campaign.

I've always thought that some sort of motion sensor would be the job for street lights. Like you say, think of all the power that would be saved.

I was over at my brothers house last night and the street light in front of his house is broken, he said he preferred it.
