Changes in Nighttime Electricity Consumption Reflects economic growth (Illustration provided by NOAA)
Shown here is a comparison of how nighttime lights have changed over the planet from 1992 to 2009. White areas indicate no change, yellow indicate an increase in nighttime lights, purple indicate a decrease in nighttime lights over the 17 year period. Many suburban areas in the Northeast U.S. and Great Lakes show decreases in lights, associated with the declining population in these regions, whereas the South gained lights in many areas.
