Not got a clue what has been designed to assist flooding the night sky with light pollution. {Source of info: @ LiteLynx} "It is a little known phenomenon to most of the general public.   Light Pollution occurs when an over abundance of light is spilled into the sky and beyond property lines.
Results of Light Pollution effect everyone in many negative ways.   Generation of electricity that could otherwise be conserved introduces more harmful greenhouse gases and other noxious chemicals into the atmosphere from the powerplants that consume fossil fuels.   These particles scatter ground based light emitted from fixtures and reflected upward from the ground and illuminate the night sky, thus diminishing our clear view of the Universe. Good lighting is shielded, low wattage, and points downward where the illumination is needed."

>How is that possible? What kind of power source does
>this thing use? Information from the project booster's web pages, www.giantlavalamp.com, indicate power source is electrical. KPFF engineering in Seattle, WA. are the consulting engineers,looming lava patent issues are no problem, the 60 ft. high searchlight feature sheds a horrendous 50 mile radius vertical beam, Haggerty Enterprises wants to work with project mgr Brent Blake who can be reached west side at 206-972-8587. From a Missourian's point of view, after reading the flawed WA-Cert giant lava lamp application, "show me" fits this backstaged backwater project that has backfired.
