Feds predict relationship with the universe in danger!

EPA says there are steps we can take to reduce this artificial light pollution so we can again reconnect with the natural world. Current federal suggestions are to darken city street lights, drive without using our car's/truck's headlights and to extinguish flare-stacks at landfills.

Are you for or against controlling artificial light pollution?

Please comment. Astronomers also want to know your opinions.

Light requires energy! And yes! DAMN YOU ALL! I need to transport telescope ever further to avoid the sodium vapor/metal halide light pollution! Bad enough I have to deal with carlights and northern lights and clouds....cities generate HUGE glow! No wonder Hubble got so many good pics...it got above and away from it all!

That's nothing. Wait until it's revealed that U.S.EPA wants to establish a Men In Black task force to save earth's ozone layer, which protects almost all life on earth from the Sun's UV Radiation. help

If aliens really want to put the hurts on the earth, they could do it easily by using chemicals to destroy our protective ozone layer which envelopes the earth in the lower portion of its stratosphere.

Instead of another sequel to "the day the earth stood still", the next sci-if thriller will be "the day the ozone layer was destroyed'
