Glad to hear the Lights Out campaign is working. I hope more people pay attention. All Texans can appreciate living in a region so important to so many species, and taking care of Texas means taking care of an amazing chunk of nature. Turning off unneeded lights by 11pm is such an easy way to do that.

Texas doing something positive for once. I like it. In this one specific instance.

To be fair, "Texas" is in no way doing anything here, people in Texas's urban areas are doing this (urban areas which are often at odds with the state). If Abbott or Patrick were involved, they'd probably mandate that no one was allowed to turn lights off in order to "prop up the energy sector" or some bullshit

Waiting to the inevitable backlash in a few weeks when turning lights off to save birds is labeled as “woke” and treated as evidence of the downfall of our society.
