Out here in Melton Vic, if you come west from the ring road, you get blinded by the lights at the melton harness track. Even thought they are 2 km away they still blind you.
The more light there is at night, the HIGHER the crime rate, the crims like the light to see what they are destroying. As for lights on roads, years ago with sealed beam lights on cars, you needed them. With our present lights on cars, we do not need streetlights.
These high rises in Melbourne need to switch their lights off at night. Think of how much carbon we could not put in the air so we can have this freedom robbing ets krudd is jamming down our throats.
And yes, I hope all the councils run out of money. Turn off all these useless street lights which light up the sky more than the roads. Would do more to save the world than going back to krudd's dark ages he so longs for. For us, that is, not for him.
