Saving energy

Hi - someone has suggested turning streetlights off at Midnight to save energy. I agree to a point. Why should we waste all that precious energy and burn up the planet generating electricity for no one. We're nearly all in bed! SO turn them off? Well we could start by turning every other one off at Midnight - back on at 6am? Except at strategic points - busy road junctions etc. High Street? We could put sensors on them - we have them on our security lamps. Then when someone walks down the street it switches them on?
Ther's lots of ideas. If they're off in remote areas and you need light you can register with your Council and send a coded text to turn them on if you want to go out and walk the dog at 2am?
We NEED to save energy - we waste loads - ALL of us.
Ideas please.
Ps Less energy used saves money, we pay the bill through our council Tax.
