Okay I rode around DeFuniak at night, tonight. If people would just do a bit of light planning, we could probably cut our dependence on fossil fuels by 20%. I have to agree, that while people are certainly free to do what they want, there is an awful lot of wasteful useless lighting going on.
But what really gets me is when places like the county extension office have six high watt sucking flood lights on the front of their building, not counting the incandescents that they are already using. And these are the people that are going around pushing energy efficiency, alternative fuels, and such. They make CFL flood lights now. Just think of the dollars that could be saved. The parking lof of the fairgrounds is another one. Government should be setting the example in the world today. Not telling us how to live while they go and do whatever they want.
