Not defeatist, just realistic. I mean we're really a minority. What are the odds? Any change will be driven by the majority and economics. I realise that they might have passed laws overseas and you feel we're behind but you have to realise that the situation there is very different from here. You'd be hard pressed to find a dark patch under their skies. Electricity prices in France are also skyhigh so the motivation might be to save a buck or two as well and I suspect that's the real drive.
We still have very dark quality skies downunder. We just have to go a little further. I'm all for change and a firm believer that there isn't much to do to achieve a reasonable result or compromise in industrial parks but that'd be a hell of a lot of lobbying with local councils to get them to turn the lights off. Where do we start? Do you think a petition is going to make any difference? Somebody mentioned earlier that even registered clubs/organisation don't add much weight to the argument.
