It's absolutely amazing to me why people can't see the light. No pun intended.  Everyone these days seems to talk about the energy crisis, but no one ever does much about it. All the proposals by the politicians are far down the road. Something that could be done now is for all the cities to stop burning all lights, except street lights, emergency lights, etc. Can you even imagine the electricity saved by not lighting up all the buildings and advertising signs? Congress cannot and will not do anything about it. The advertising industry will squeal, but how many people see thier signs after midnight. Unfortunely, it will take a national news blitz by the major networks to make this happen. Then again, they probably want to endanger their advertising income. We made it through the blackouts in WW2 and will probable make it again.
