As an extremely concerned believer in the reduction of our carbon production, (Ummm...... did I mention I tell fibs?), I firmly believe that turning off all street lighting permanently would cut our carbon footprint by enough to prevent the need for a carbon tax! If people carried their own LED lighting as required, the heavily used areas would be well lit, and those areas that didn't need lighting would be dark. As to the safety issue, those people who could provide proof that they need to travel through unsafe areas at night could be provided with permits to carry knives, guns or bazooka's as necessary to ensure their safety.
Oh, Did I mention that I live in an area that has no street lighting anyway? And that turning off the street lights in the two nearby towns would just about get rid of all our light pollution?
Not that that has any bearing on my oppinion of course!!
