Or “How’s that totalitarianism working out for you?”
I can think of several excellent reasons to turn off unused electric lights. If you and I met and the subject came up, you’d probably find me the biggest lightswitch nazi you’d ever encountered. Because that’s what generating your own ‘tricity and living off-grid does to you.
The French government, being a government, has chosen three reasons I don’t find good:
1. To reduce “light pollution,” which so far as I know is of concern only to astronomers. All of whom seem to be government-financed.
2. To “save 250,000 tonnes of CO2”??? I don’t even… Wait, I thought there was already too much.
3. Because we said so, and if you don’t we’ll send our goons (or is that goonnes?) to kill you. Which is the real reason, I suppose.
