P-04-428: Alternative energy for street lighting
Petition wording:
We call upon the
National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh government to convert streetlights
on the trunk road system in Wales to an alternative energy source and to issue
guidelines to the local authorities requesting day convert local streetlights
to alternative energy.
Supporting Information :
The Welsh Assembly
Government claim that they are working along the lines of Agenda 21, which is
to reduce pollution by reducing our energy consumption. During the night, street lighting sends our
energy consumption levels to a high peak.
So I feel that the Government should convert the street lights in the
country to an alternative energy source.
For example, Solar and wind energy is already used for some street
signage and to convert all street lighting so this would provide extensive and
sustainable employment for thousands and the electricity providers would then
be able to reduce their prices to the consumer and the Local Authorities.
