Climate Cult Upset Over Gas Powered Streetlights From the 1800s
Is there nothing they won’t whine about?
What can Cincinnati’s gas streetlights teach us about climate change?
Gas streetlights are iconic fixtures in some Cincinnati neighborhoods, from Clifton’s Gaslight District to Pleasant Ridge’s Gas Light Cafe. They’re more than a century old, and have been the focus of preservation campaigns, public safety efforts and budget cuts over the years.
Now, gaslights are the subject of a study from University of Cincinnati researchers, illuminating barriers to tackling climate change. Their findings are published in the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences.
Professors Amy Townsend-Small and David Stradling say there are currently about 1,100 gaslights in the city. They run on natural gas and burn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And, the researchers say, they’re leaky.
The professors found gaslights emit about 4% of the fossil fuels they consume, adding climate-warming methane to the atmosphere.
Her testing shows the average Cincinnati gas street light emits 1.7 grams of methane per hour. For comparison, gas stoves release 0.07 grams of methane and water heaters emit 0.2-0.3 grams per hour.
She says as Cincinnati works to transition away from fossil fuels and address climate change, there’s an opportunity to electrify gaslights. Converting the gas-powered lamps to electric is listed as a priority action in the city’s playbook to reduce emissions, the Green Cincinnati Plan.
They seriously wasted time doing this.
In the late 1800s, Cincinnati had about 10,000 streetlights. Approximately 1,000 remain today.
Professor Stradling studies history and says gas lights have been replaced over the years for reasons from cost to the fact that they aren’t as bright as electric streetlights.
The people in the neighborhoods love them. But, Warmists are upset about pretty much anything.
