City every night the consumption of 'free' open street lamp power who come out?

Many cities will automatically by 6 o 'clock almost every night light lamp, a lot of friend may feel this is the government give you free open lamp, actually free or hidden behind some & other Secret & throughout; , we all know that the size of a city, if free light lamp every night, a night of power consumption and electricity can be very large, so who are these costs in out? The power consumption of probably how much money a night? Let's see together.

street light in our lives seemingly insignificant, but it can play a very important role, imagine if a city doesn't even have lights, so that this city is much behind? Big night out still have to take a flashlight, was almost dark outside, so now is not only a city, even in rural areas are slowly building a street lamp. Under normal circumstances, the city will be to build for street lamps, and street lamp power produced by every day also calculate to municipal, that is to say, the city street light electricity every night come out by the government, although a LED street lamp are basically, but very much street lamp quantity, add up to is a lot of cost. Is, of course, if the hotel intersection near the street lamp or a street light in the community, then it is possible that the hotel himself out or property in the community, in all cities in most of the lights were built by the government investment, consumption power is borne by the government, every night, we assume that a city with hundreds of millions of street lamp, so a night electricity at least also in the millions, I think that money is only the government can afford it.

later, with the popularity of lamps, now also derived the solar street light, the street lamp can make use of solar battery and power generation, and need not spend a dime electricity, now many cities have built up a solar street lamp, if all the traditional street light for solar street light, then one night at least tens of millions of electricity can be saved. But because the cost of solar street lamps is high, so the successful change of solar street lamps city is relatively small, it is more common in the counties and townships. Late than the street lamp of electricity, however, its maintenance and maintenance cost is huge overhead, the city every day to the street lights maintenance and inspection, the cost including cost of equipment maintenance, in the middle of the workers' wages, transportation costs, etc. , add up the cost is higher than the electricity, and with the passage of time, the equipment is aging, the late maintenance cost also will be more and more high. All of these costs and then who is it come out? Many friend will say government, actually yes, but most of the government's money comes from tax revenue, the wool is on sheep's body, looks like the government free for us to build street light, free of charge, in fact, most of the money is our ordinary tax money, finish up the knowledge.

the small make up think, although city every night free open lamp, electricity or like the government, but the government a lot of money from the people to pay taxes, so we can understand for the government to build street lamps and generate electricity, a lot of cost is our common people out.

this, what do you think?
