Default (OT) Why the end of the lightbulb is a dark day for us all

LED traffic lights and LED sidewalk lights don't put out any heat to
melt the ice and snow in the Wintertime.There were problems with that
last Winter, especially with traffic lights.Sooooo, if they have to wind
up rigging up some way to keep the ice and snow from obscuring those LED
lights, where is the energy savings? Last Winter, in some parts of
America, they had trucks going around and spraying deicing
fluid/whatever kind of fluid on some LED traffic lights.Not much savings
(Money) there either.
