Lights out for Earth Hour
Published March 28, 2008 by CSBJ Staff
Households and businesses are being asked to turn out the lights tomorrow between 8 and 9 p.m. for Earth Hour.
Earth Hour is an international energy saving event that asks that lights and non-essential electrical appliances be turned off.
The event is sponsored by Imagination Celebration in Colorado Springs.
The first Earth Hour was held in Sydney, Australia on March 31st of last year. It was estimated to have cut Sydney’s electricity consumption between 2.1 percent and 10.2 percent during that hour, with as many as 2.2 million people participating.

Sounds like another stupid enviro-wacko adventure. The universe is full of matter, ergo it is full of energy. We have plenty of energy and always will have, we just lack the imagination or will to use what is available. Like that stupid trick Clinton did turning our largest coal fields in Utah into a national something or other.
Sounds like you really have a clue anonymous…very informed. Simplistic chemistry and physics solutions don’t work in the real world, so we have to change the way we do business. Get used to it.
