I really hope that sometime in the next 20-30 years light pollution gets the attention needed to do something about it.

Especially since in many cases the better lighting is as cheap or cheaper (tco), it just takes someone in the decision tree actually caring.

Right there is pretty much exactly why light pollution won't even matter in 20-30 years. People in decision-making positions don't care about anything except money and power. Because of that little detail, we're all gonna have much more serious things to worry about than light pollution or street light energy usage 20-30 years from now.
