Algore.org statement concerning Light Pollution:

Well, I applaud Al Gore for this, but isn't he planning to have a number of
simultaneous rock concerts around the world to raise consciousness about
global warming? How many millions of kilowatts of electricity will be
required to pull this off, thus actually contributing to the global warming
problem, since fossil fuels will generate most of this electricity. Isn't
this hypocrisy?


It's good to have a celebrity speak out against light pollution, but
why did it have to be VP Al Gore? :-)

If and when light pollution is reduced to a low level and illuminated
billboards, etc., are banned, I -might- consider converting over to
compact fluorescent bulbs...but not until then.
