Arguably the world's greatest light pollution success, admittedly
isn't.

How much evidence is it going to take for observers to acknowledge
that a
"change of tactics" is needed.

Do most stargazers secretly prefer the sight of artificial lights
over an
unpolluted view of the heavens??

As far as light pollution is concerned, the genie is out of the
bottle. All over Europe, government agencies are talking about
reducing the problem but nothing concrete is happening on the ground.
It will take nothing less than power generation failure to give us
back dark skies. Charge your power packs now, guys, to exploit the
moment when it comes.

Hopefully, it will change a bit - we got this last week

We are supposed to be shutting down our highway lights during a part of the
night. All these talks about global warming may lead to some actions being
actually taken rather than discussed.

The best hope I believe we have is the global warming thing because it
is cheaper to reduce light pollution than generate it
