Colorado Springs Can't Afford to Waste Electricity

As a cost-saving measure, Colorado Springs, Colorado is turning off most of its streetlights.   This is expected to save $1.2 million in electricity bills.   NRR has reported this as a terrible circumstance of budget shortfalls.   MapSpy sees a few positives.    Less demand for coal to produce electricity is good for  our environment.   The reduction in light pollution will make Colorado Springs a destination for star gazers.
