Having owned businesses, I will say that many do it for safety reasons. Some businesses will turn off half the light banks, which uses less electricity. I think that is a better way to go in this situation than leaving them all on. The idea of using motion sensors sounds good as well. Then lights could go off at night or just leave a few key ones on. In the businesses that my family has owned and managed, we all have turned the lights out at night. David Crabtree I can understand the upset and irritation.

You're just concern with the energy and definitely it affects the town when you waste it. First, the consumption is higher than what it should be and it may cause often brownouts later on. To save it, I think you first must convince the government who controlled the town and let them implement a policy regarding that issue. It will be a big help to the citizens, for sure.

Even for an hour that you turn off all electricity, it has a huge effect and it allows you to save a lot of power. We also have lots of business establishments that leaves their lights as well as other electronic device turned on even at night. Meaning, its on 24 hours daily. I really hate it when I see these things. It pulls as closer to the edge. If were planning to save the environment, we should also include this. Thanks This is true.

I have recently moved to the US from India, and was shocked to see this blatant misuse and waste of electricity. I can't even imagine what purpose it serves. There's gotta be a way to spread awareness about this. I couldn’t agree more. I have recently moved to the US from India, and was shocked to see this blatant misuse and waste of electricity.

Turn the street lights on 5 mins later and turn them off 5 mins earlier. Simplz ;D Also,having motion sensor lights in buildings not only saves energy but also BLATANTLY alerts security as to the location of a possible intruder.

Turn the street lights on 5 mins later and turn them off 5 mins earlier. Simplz ;D Also if they use the excuse of 'security' as their main reason to leave the lights on,wouldn't it be better if they installed motion sensor lights.Not only that this will save energy,but even more suprising is that it gives a blatant clue to security if someone has just walked into that room/building.
