Welcome to The Last Green Valley

"The skies don't lie.  From on high, looking down along the East Coast at night, we're blazing away like Times Square squared, a crazy quilt of sparks illuminating the darkness ... Except ... over there.  A distinct patch of northeastern Connecticut and a bit of Massachusetts that's noticeably still, remarkably dark.  A break in the unrelenting mass of artificial brilliance that lights the night.  So much so that airline pilots use this patch of darkness as a point of reference.  And by day, it's green.  Deeply, profoundly green.  The Last Green Valley, so they say."
