DR & PR at night

I just went out to see how "illuminated" the farm was just a minute ago.....lol
See, as opposed to you, I do know how the woods looks like at night and why. I also happen to know why Santo Doming looks the way it does using satellite images at night vs PR, do you?
just like you knew that a Dominican weightlifter won various Olympic medals....as oppossed to me, who did not know.
maybe you should address it to the guy who wants to start up with everybody. i mean, a new year just started and he wants to get into ish with everybody...even the moderator.
you had better remind yourself. the year has just started, and you already want to get into it with everybody, over nothing. you had better warn yourself...
It was in post#23 at 3:30 this afternoon. that you wrote to WYW "i do not find you worthy of debating. go seek your back and forth elsewhere." It is now 7:35 , post#49 and you are still arguing with him. Why do you take the bait? You're right it is a new year. It is about time you guys put each other on ignore either mentally or physically. I wish I knew where to find the yawning fox!
Officially warning BOTH wishing and gorgon, there will not be a second warning. This applies to ALL threads, not just this one. You two should not respond to one another EVER.
interesting view for those interested large black areas in the USA and other areas that show farming areas where large area's are not illuminated but there are people there and there is electricity available. Forth picture down shows a flat map of earth.

One can attempt to polish a turd, bit it remains a turd.
Do Dominican people sleep better on a hot tropical night with no electricity? I reckon not.
The average Domincan in Barahona not only does not have AC, but the house he lives in is not built for it. Typically, there is a gap between the zinc roof overhang and top of the wall.
Heat at night does not seem to be as big a problem with the fan on.
As for light, The only lights that would be noticeable from space in the Barrio Palmerito would be the street lamps and a couple of lights outside the colmados. zI imagine that the strip along the Malecon would be well lit.
Yes Dolores, less light pollution is good for the plants, animals, and humans; but, most of the DR's population actually lives in areas that are quite bright at night (as seen from outer space and that's with whatever % of circuits that are off every night due to power outages).
Like I said before, compare the electricity map (or light pollution) with the population distribution and density, and it becomes clear that most of DR is dark because there aren't many people in most the country. The bulk is concentrated in Santo Domingo metro area and in the Cibao.Here is a satellite shot of Hispaniola
Haiti, on the other hand, is another story. Over there most of the population actually lives in the dark, so to speak. Even though much of Haiti isn't visible in the population density map below, its very clear how much more crowded that part of the island is compared to the DR. A line to demarcate the border is almost not necessary from this perspective (the same happens with maps of the tree cover of the island).
When driving through much of the DR the country seems "fuller" than the map would suggest, mostly because in rural areas many of the primary and secondary roads are lined with many homes and businesses, more so in the northern part of the country than elsewhere (in many roads in the eastern DR you can drive for kilometers with hardly a house along the way), but everywhere it seems fuller. The road network isn't very thick, so most of the country actually remains 'not seen or hidden' from the roads.
