Makes me fell better already.......how touching..

Hey Obama zombies, the global warming thing, it’s a lie, yeah, hate to tell you that, but it’s a lie for the stupid people.

[STONEWALLS]

...when is Earth Hour on the U.S. eastern seaboard?...I plan on turning on every light in my house...probably run the washer/dryer too.

[tet68]

I thought my lights looked brighter, maybe they should
do this 24 hrs a day.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

In order to offset the display of earth hour, I plan on turning every light I have on, run the dishwasher, do clothes, crank up the security lights and stuff.

[rickmichaels]

...including a lights-out party on Sydney's northern beaches...

A perfect opportunity for gropers, perverts and rapists.

First turn off your lights.

That’ll really help the earth.

Next, stop eating meat. That’’ll help the earth.

Next, kill yourself and all your family to help the Earth.

Didn’t the Cambodian Communists kill HALF of their own country’s population.?

Didn’t NK kill 5% or more by starvation (137cm tall soldiers???)

Didn’t Mao to whom we look for inspiration??? (just jokin’ she said).

Didn’t Stalin???

This is our future if we don’t watch out and fight back now.

Evry Hour is Earth Hour in North Korea, hee hee.

[Jemian]

It’s earth hour here, now. Lights on. Air-con running. That’s all the stuff I have.

[pb929]

I’ll be happy to support Earth Hour if the wackos promise to leave us alone the other 364 day and 23 hours of the year.

[mkjessup]

I’m turning on every light, electrical appliance, computer, TV, air conditioner, space heater, anything that plugs into a 110 AC socket for the next 24 hours.

I got their ‘Earth Hour’ right >>>>> HERE <<<<< !!!!

[hadaclueonce]

What a bunch of idiots.

They have not got a clue. If more than 50% of the load in a region is lost withing 30 seconds, they could cause a system black out.

Then their lights will be out for days.

The Greenies just cannot keep them selves from shooting their own toes off for the sake of Mother Earth.

[Gay State Conservative]

Let's see now...8:30PM...I'll have the heat on (it's electric),every appliance I own will be on,as will every light,every electronic device...have I forgotten anything?

Earth Hour 2010 gets underway in Australia, Pacific islands

(sniffle-sniffle, weep-weep, sniffle)) This story is so touching, I think I'll go dump some used Motor Oil down the storm sewer.

[jmaroneps37]

When is this in Eastern time? I want to run every appliance in the house during that hour.

[mollynme]

Every street in my city is well lighted and just about every house has its own light stand. Luckily, we have a city council and Safety Manager who would never be stupid enough to try to black us out.
Our neighbor city (Boulder) is planning on turning off all "non-essential" lights. Wonder if their crime rate will go up tonight?

[magslinger]

Where did I put that landing light?

[Stosh]

And the best thing about “Earth Hour” is that it’s a totally pointless exercise:

Beam me to Planet Gore ! Force of Darkness “Earth Hour” Challenged by Power of Light “Human Achievement Hour”

CEI Announces 2nd Annual Celebration of Human Achievement

Washington, D.C., March 19, 2010—The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a leading free-market think tank, will celebrate the Second Annual “Human Achievement Hour” between 8:30pm and 9:30pm on Saturday, March 27, 2010. The one-hour celebration coincides with “Earth Hour,” an hour in which governments, individuals, and corporations will dim or shut off lights to symbolically renounce the environmental impacts of modern technology.

“Earth Hour’s creators suggest that human inventions and technology are a problem, but we see the ability to create and innovate as the ultimate resource,” says Human Achievement Hour founder and CEI Policy Analyst Michelle Minton. “Environmental challenges will not be solved by turning off our lights and symbolically hiding in the dark,” Minton added. “If anything, we should be looking to technology and innovation to help solve environmental problems.”

Just like last year, countless individuals, organizations, agencies and businesses will be celebrating Human Achievement Hour without even realizing it. Just by not shutting down their lights, operations and stores, they will be acknowledging that productive effort and the pursuit of happiness are a better alternative than sitting in the dark.

In addition to the observance of Human Achievement Hour, wherever people may find themselves around the world, CEI will be hosting a happy hour event outside of Washington, D.C.

Human Achievement Happy Hour
Saturday, March 27, 2010
7:30pm-10:00pm

last year i turned every light on in the house and opened the drapes.

meanwhile, i watched most of the houses across the valley turn off their lights.

my wife and i are doing the same tonight.

[GATOR NAVY]

I’m too cheap to turn on anything extra but I sure as hell won’t be turning anything off that is normally on.
