Is this an unexplored solution to energy conservation?
15fsg546rge1rrheljh45hjr90459ty3 asked:
Rather than pour all our money into energy exploration, new energy sources, technology, etc.; is it cheaper to make us all able to see in the dark? We have night vision technology, and medical and genetic technology has increased substantially over the past few years. Has anyone done any experimentation with lab rats to see if they can be altered to be able to see in the dark? Would this be cost effective if, rather than light the planet, we could get everyone to see in the dark. Yes, this sounds ridiculous, but the goals required to achieve energy conservation, and reduce greenhouse gases are pretty much in the air still. Is this probable?

That’s a little ridiculous. Why not step that back a notch to the more logical approach: Live more accordingly to the natural cycles of the sun in the sky. i.e. sleep at night, work during light!

IN MY OPINION, I BELIEVE YOU WOULD HURT YOUR EYES BY BEING TO CLOSE TO YOUR GREEN NIGHT VISION GLASSES AND SOON HAVE TO WEAR THICK GLASSES FOR READING.

This would be great for the neocons. They’re always in the dark!

That would be a significant change. People would need to slowly adapt to that in order to get used to it. It seems like an interesting idea but I don’t know if people want to invest money and time into it. It’s still a possibility.
