Though the subheadline says "Light abundance has increased by 100,435,912 percent since 1830." which seems to be off by a factor of 10.

I believe that going from a value of 1 to 1,004,360.12 would be a 100,435,912 percent increase.

Thanks , I found this article to be both enlightening and illuminating !

There is just so much in this modern world that is "taken for granted" and not appreciated !

An amazingly rapid development in this aspect of 'human progress' !

No more 'hiding one's light beneath a bushel ' ....the talents are being allowed to shine !

As I get older I find that to read comfortably I need ever brighter lighting ,

so it has been truly serendipitous for me ! And I am really grateful.

Nice article. Ah, I wish we Californians paid so little for a kWh!

Sorry, California Solar is unreliable and expensive.

Our expensive electricity is a result of our unreliable & expensive government.
