Screw the emissions and leave the lights alone. As far as motorways go they should all be lit. It is always nice to come out of the dark and into a lit stretch of motorway. I don't buy into all this energy saving nonsense. We need more energy not less, its time to crank up the nuclear power stations so we can use as much as we like.

There is too much bull talked about greener alternatives to everything without the downsides mentioned. Like energy saving lamps that need treating as special waste due to their contents. How much energy is consumed recycling the damn things so we dont poison the earth by land filling them?

Talking about landfill, why are they on about charging y weight our non recyclable waste? We fill landfill by volume not weight so surely we should be charged by volume. If I fill my bin up with polystyrene balls why should the charge be less than filling it will bricks? Makes no sense to me. If fact filling it with bricks would be less polluting to the earth than the polystyrene.

Anyway enough green bull, just leave the lights switched on. Everyone can see what will happen if they turn off the street lights on streets with houses. Everyone will fit outside lights to deter the burglars. End effect no saving in energy.
