Lucky to have places over here where it's away form light pollution, mostly around coastal areas.
Don't see this happening though :/

More efficient = less leccy = less expenditure = less taxes. Though it won't.

Nice idea... but seriously can someone find me proof that one of these online petitions has actuallly done anything... or has actually worked?
I mean a real one... not just something like a Petition to get Tefal to legally change his name to toaster or something.

because it costs a fortune to change a billion streetlights so light doesnt leak upwards.
all the new lights when they replace old ones seem to be the ones that shine downwards though
Of course it won't.

As much as the sky looks great at night... I quite like street lights, they help to see where I'm going.
Turning them off could be an option, if you're a fool. I can only imagine the delight it would bring to all the scum on the streets.
"b) there's an additional benefit with the Olympics by showing what a green country we are"
WTF? Who gives a **** about the olympics? They're already leeching away a hilarious amount of money for pretty much zero reason, why spend more on a crackpot idea to throw money at street lighting?
Edit: It's not because it's "not the sexy vote" it's because the street lights are there for a reason...

I think in the small print it stipulates that at the end of the current term, the conservative party should enter government!

The street lights round here (if they go out) take a while to come back on to full light, it would just be an annoyance to have lights going on and off continuosly, possibly waste more power?
It would no doubt cost the Earth to install also.

No thanks, switching lights of is not a good idea.
switching to new lights is a good idea, but the expense would be huge and it would not be green. the transport and construction would pollute far more than decades with the current system. There idea is flawed like a person buying a diesel car to save money over 10k a year,

they've been gradually switching to new lights for ages, cant see this making any difference to those plans, I'm sure the government are well aware of the environmental issues of streetlights, cant see how this petition would possibly change anything, anything it's asking for specifically either straight up wont happen or is in progress already
