Groundbreaking New Study Proves That Street Lights Help People See Better

I need to become a scientist. Really. You get grants and payments for doing studies like this one. Studies that require little (or no) actual work to pull off. I mean, comon, isn't it obvious that street lights make it easier to see? Sheesh.

All joking aside, though, this study might actually have some use. It was focused on the "after midnight" blackouts that many cities impose in order to save on utility costs and energy usage. Turns out, these blackouts actually cause some accidents.

Here's a good discussion of the study and its implications.
