Embryo: Sustainable Streetlight Concept
Sustainable streetlights are hot. And I'm not surprised by that. In the Netherlands alone there are more than 2.6 million of them (and Holland is a very small country). Together they are responsible for almost 2% of the nations energy use. A lot of countries are looking for alternatives. I think I found one.
