Oops! Rick Perry was right all along.
You may have noticed a trend in the past two years: Liberal individuals or publications coming around to realize what conservatives have long known. Positions once mocked and derided become the new “one easy trick.”
TL;DR
- Liberal individuals and publications are adopting positions previously associated with conservatives.
- New research shows that reliable electric street lighting can significantly reduce crime.
- Rick Perry's past claims that improved lighting curbed crime, initially derided, are now seen as vindicated.
- The reliability of fossil fuels for electricity is presented as essential for urban safety, especially in poorer regions.
