Energy Efficiency: Driving on LEDs

I think it’s absolutely crucial as we deal with energy and environmental issues that we recognize the interactions between pieces of systems, and between subsystems within our entire biosphere. Climate change, energy consumption, politics, economics, psychology, non-greenhouse gas pollution — it’s quite a big ball of stuff we’re trying to get our arms around and control, or at least keep from blowing up. With this mindset, I found yet another of those “city X is saving Big Money by replacing old tech street lights with LED units” articles particularly interesting. We’ve all seen those article, thanks to the quickly rising uptake in LED street lighting.
