[Albion] Amex Light Pollution.

symyjym · Jan 25, 2020

To be fair if the lighting system was efficient there would be no light pollution.

Needs to be fully covered with better reflection. Looks like a lot of wasted energy to me.

Very much this.

I have two main loves in life, outside of my family and my friends and quality beer, The Albion and astronomy.

My love of astronomy has taken me into other scientific areas, which I won't bore you with ( but I'd love to....), and this is very selfish of The Albion.

Light pollution is just getting so awful, and I've signed the petition.

Have we not been using these every season since we moved to the amex?

It must be a temporary solution to grow the grass through after the recent awful weather has ruined the pitch.

The solution isn't rocket science either.

I love watching the shooting stars in August, the Perseids (I think). We just get in the car, drive 4 miles east to the Cuckmere river, and problem solved. No light pollution.

No light pollution but it does create greenhouse gasses.

Yes this seems to gathering momentum with the local tree huggers.

If you follow Brighton skies on Facebook, they are very vocal

Has Barber responded yet?

DavePage · Jan 25, 2020

So what about the Shepherds? Don’t see them complaining about their delight and warnings.

RexCathedra · Jan 25, 2020

I want a petition to have them turned on 24/7 and use electricity generated from burning soft coal to power them. Or run them on whale oil. That'll show the tree-huggers. Up Britain!

Not yet....don’t think even him can defend light pollution.

this is ridiculous and shame on all you signing this, there is light pollution from the local streets, the road and the universities. picking on the club contribution is nonsense.

Common sense at last let’s be honest if this was coming from anything other than a football stadium there would not be any fuss at all

Basically a Facebook witch hunt campaign for bored middle class mums. Half of the signers won't even have noticed it.

It really isn't mate.

There's a lot of people trying to keep our skies clear.

This isn't nimbyism, far from it.

So where is the protest against the lit seafront and pavilion at night? Or the roads or the university or the marina or any of the other sources of light pollution in the city?

I fully understand your point, and personally I agree with you, totally 100%.

GB, you are a tad flippant here, and complacent and wrong. Also, you're daft on this.

The grass is always greener.

People with telescopes who don’t get out much, sigh.
