Britain Streets going dark by the thousands

Street lights turned off in their thousands to meet carbon emission targets

Considering that Britain is plunging into darkness to save money on energy costs, wouldn't a glow-in-the-dark road paint be exactly what we need?

"The full extent of the blackout can be disclosed following an investigation by The Sunday Telegraph - which comes on the day that clocks moved back an hour, making it dark earlier in the evening - and found that:

• - 3,080 miles of motorways and trunk roads in England are now completely unlit;

• - a further 47 miles of motorway now have no lights between midnight and 5am, including one of Britain’s busiest stretches of the M1, between Luton and Milton Keynes;

• - out of 134 councils which responded to a survey, 73% said they had switched off or dimmed some lights or were planning to;

• - all of England’s 27 county councils have turned off or dimmed street lamps in their areas."
