Earth Hour has to be the worst idea to come out of the camp of tree huggers. I think I'm going to turn ON everything I have tonight from 8-10pm.

i get it if you dont want to change your habits but why would you try to counteract others actions

Its a dumb idea because it uses more energy when everything gets turned back on then it would to simply leave them on.
The sentiment is nice but in practice its a bad idea.

thats exactly what i did, i live in buffalo and we get out power from the falls, i have some of the cleanest electricity in the world
and @rich
not true at all, theyve done studies cause thats not even close to being true, most devices only take about 2-3 seconds to extra power to get to operating condition. well this is true unless you use alot of hair curlers and waflle irons and other things with heat coils but i mean honestly those dont even take *THAT* long

Buff: I live in WNY as well, and I hate to break it to you, but most of our power comes from the coal plants in the area. Most of the electricity from the Robert Moses plant goes downstate. Because you should know by now, NY is the great parasite on NYS.
