You guys should be a little slower to buy into the hype.

Most power plants have to keep running and generate at least at minimum capacity at night or shut down generators. Shutting down means long re-start times, and is inefficient and wasteful in itself, and drives up costs. The cheapest power is the power being used in the midnight hours, and unless there are sufficient uses drawing on the power that must be generated anyway, it simply goes to waste. That waste then drives up daytime rates to cover the costs.

In other words, while the excuse "to save money" may be legitimate given various city budgets, the environmental argument is bullshit put out there to justify their actions.

Watch what happens next as their crimes stats go up...wonder if they'll be saving any money on increased police patrols, property damage and theft, court time, etc., that will come as a result?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', 'S')ounds like an improvement to me. I hate street lights anyway. Then again, I would never willingly live in a place where you had to worry about being mugged every time you walk around in the dark. Where I live, I have to worry about being eaten in the dark, but not so much about being mugged.
