let's have a much more effective event to save the Earth.
to prevent that evil CO2 from destroying mother Earth, we will ask all the greenies who turned off their lights for one hour to hold their breath for one hour instead.

I’m celebrating Civilization Hour.
To: kingattax
I will be roasting a condor and owl side dish over California redwood in celebration.
Then I will take up my black footed ferret nunchuks and beat some envirowacky heads in.
After that, they get forcibly bathed, shaved, and force fed Angus beef and bacon cooked over rare wood coals.

its a silly way to embrace so-called climate change.
Then again, something appeals to Green wackos about turning lights off I can’t fathom.
I left mine on just in case you wonder.

Just looks like self imposed austerity rich in symbolism & alarmist rhetoric.
To: kingattax
I didn’t know about this event or I would have turned on more lights.
To: kingattax
The trick is in the prep work and pre-staging!

The Hong Kong light show is pretty neat when you watch it from a boat in the harbor. There are some youtube videos that show some of it.

And having assistants that actually help.
Unlike nieces and nephews who “unhelp”.

I burned a bunch of plastic bags...I figured we need to open the hole in the ozone layer again to let all the globull warming out....What a bunch of idiots thinking by living in the dark for an hour, that the refineries that produce the electricity are shutting down. What a bunch of morons.

Oh well, the smart ones realise that - the hour of lights off is meant to be “symbolic”. It is too. Of the increasingly mean and oppressive society that they want us all to embrace.

North Korea has been lights out forever.
To: kingattax
North Korea wins again.
To: kingattax
Has anyone figured that the cost (in energy) to bring the lights back up to the designed working optimum is slightly more than turning off these lights, designed for 24/7 operation?
Not to mention the failures that naturally occur to lights from the power surge when the lamps are first struck.

We never heard about it here in the Philippines. Sorry that I missed it. I would have turned on more lights.
