Answer 2

The northern lights' intensity is dependent on the sun's activity.

The sun's intensity varies periodically over an 11-year cycle.  Currently (2008) we are at a low-point in solar activity (solar minimum), which is why the northern lights are not as bright.  In 2012, they will be much more brilliant (during solar maximum).
