Earth Hour
« on: March 29, 2008, 06:58:13 PM »
So.....what's everyone's big plans this evening for "Earth Hour"?

Will HTC be shutting the servers down for the hour between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm (I hope not!)

Personally, I will have every light in my house that is visible to the outside turned on.  In addition to that I have a couple of 500 W halogen lamps that I will have plugged in illuminating the outside of the house.

I hope this contributes to "global warming", I'm tired of the cold weather.

The first I heard of Earth Day was today when someone called the TV station where I work at and wanted to know if we were going to shut down the transmitter for an hour. I spent 20 minutes trying to tell them that the power cost of shutting the thing down, cooling it, and then restarting it would be 3 times as much than if we just left it running at 75% power. Needless to say they didn't buy it and said that it was my fault Earth was dying. I really think they were just unhappy with cooking show we had running and they didn't know how to operate a TV remote.

Oh just to add on, I made sure I wasted as much power as possible today.

Everytime I hear "Ding" I am reminded that another Librul is trying to screw me.

Oh wait that's just the Microwave.

most of the heavily populated areas, containing the people who would actually do this, are supplied by hydro or nuclear power.

Relax all you liberal phobics. It is no conspiracy.

This earth hour is just a good intention spent in a stupid way. It is sometimes embarrassing how my fellow liberals "stupidfy" some issues in order to sell them to the public.

Indeed it was a stupid pointless exercise. The averred intention was to raise peoples awareness of climate change as if that particular subject wasn't already rammed down our throat on a daily basis.

Besides, I already had my Earth 12 hours when I had a power cut the other night.
