LETTER: Addressing copper thefts

After seeing news reports about the rise in copper wire thefts around the Las Vegas Valley, I couldn’t help wondering why Las Vegas hasn’t adopted solar energy street lighting.

This is not new, but has been around for years. It just takes smart thinking to build and adapt.
