Conservation Efforts to Reduce Light Pollution Earn Widespread Approval Among Stargazers

Advocates for preserving dark skies are recognizing Denver-based Franklin Mountain Energy for their efforts to reduce light pollution in New Mexico’s oil and gas sector. DarkSky International has awarded Franklin Mountain the first certification for its initiatives at three sites in the southeastern region, aimed at diminishing skyglow that affects landmarks like Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The company’s modifications include equipment that directs light downward to enhance safety while minimizing electricity use. As light pollution becomes an increasing concern, with studies indicating a annual brightness increase of 10% globally, New Mexico lawmakers are working to update regulations on outdoor night lighting to combat this issue.
