If the CO2 that allows plant and therefore animal life to exist can be designated as a pollutant by moonbats, why not light? New York State is moving to restrict it.

Via News USA:

A proposed law, known as the “Dark Skies Protection Act” ( S5007), aims to dramatically reduce light pollution across the state, potentially requiring many outdoor lights to be switched off after 11 p.m.

Criminals will love it, so it is unsurprising that this latest Big Government intrusion was introduced by a Democrat, State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal.

The bill targets a wide range of outdoor lighting, from residential floodlights and decorative building illumination to commercial spotlights, and billboards. Under the proposed regulations, any outdoor lighting fixture not meeting specific design standards would be mandated to shut off between 11 p.m. and sunrise…

Democrats argue that lights at night disorient migratory birds and prevent stargazing, thus the need to impose darkness by force.

Certain exceptions would be allowed. For example:

[S]ports venues can maintain lighting during ongoing games.

Apparently night-flying migratory birds are not affected by ball games.

At least fines collected from people who use light at night might help raise funds to finance Zohran Mamdani’s $97,000 per derelict per year homelessness spending.

Artificial light symbolizes mankind’s ingenuity and achievement. A nighttime view of the Korean peninsula demonstrates how leftism snuffs out both. The contrast between the dark communist north and the brightly lit free south drives home what is at stake in the struggle against moonbattery. Under continued Democrat control, New York will increasingly resemble the north.
