Mac, they musta been confused here in Oklahoma and did the "Show the planet we care Earth hour" on Friday night. Heck it was 80 of Friday and yesterday was 48 and cold north wind. See guys! It works! Mother nature DOES care about your porch light.

Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

Not integrated into a national powergrid?

Your comment was funny  :lol but i think you know that the entire earth hour thing is just to put it on the agenda, and not to acutally save anything.

Back to serious. I think its odd that even one single person on the planet thinks saving power is stupid. Fine, you may not belive that saving power does anything for the enviroment, but using less of it will have an impact on your wallet. Even a capitalist should get that ;)

if .2 % of the population observes EARTH hour it will take the energy equivelant of 14 hours to shut down and restart distibution stations, feeder plants, recharge transformer stations, system personel will have to work over time to monitor the fluctuations in the system at off hour times,hence overtime for those workers and extra gas to come in for work, extra hot water for the shower to wash off the disgust! and some alarming nights lack of sleep while they ponder how making all this extra work saved anything!

My celebration was an anti wack job protest! I turned on all my lights, electric appliances and fired up AH! We are supposed to protect the environment and go green then why is it that if my grass gets to high the city fines me $75 for not cutting it?  :(

Exactly. Just like all the rest of the man made global warming scare tactics. At least that's what Al Gore said.
