Well, this is a story that just defines the self-defeating nature of modern society’s urge to do something - anything!
Cities around the country that have installed energy-efficient traffic lights are discovering a hazardous downside: The bulbs don’t burn hot enough to melt snow and can become crusted over in a storm — a problem blamed for dozens of accidents and at least one death.
At least one death. But at least the city has saved money!
