I am writing to complain about the badly designed lights that shine upwards from Swanbank power station. They waste money and energy, increase CO2 emissions and ruin the night sky for wildlife and astronomers. I live 150km south of Brisbane and even at that distance my northern horizon has an annoying light pollution glow. Swanbank's lights are one of the main reasons for this. If you must have bright lights please mount them at the top of the chimneys and shine them down. You only need moderately bright red lights however for aircraft safety.
I didn't email this but all we need is streetlights that are as bright as the full moon that shine down and not sideways. If pedesrians need more light than that they should carry a torch. Lights that shine in a drivers eyes are dangerous.
