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?
