Ray Jones Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Then move it ^^ However, turning down electricity consumption at large scale will eventually cause power plants to produce less energy, up to the point of a shut down, simply because the electricity is can't be stored somewhere, so power plants produce only what is currently needed.

TKA-001 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dammit, I missed the 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I hadn't heard of this "Earth Hour," so no, I did not turn off my lights. So while I didn't help save the climate, at least I saved myself the trouble of stumbling around in the dark for an hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I turned on all the lights in my room and activated all five computers as well. Just for that hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narfblat Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Even though Global Warming effects all of that?? I don't totally buy into the Global Warming thing, which is why I put quotes around it. I'd give reasons, but True Avery is right about this not being the place; you don't have to be a mod to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 *Jae gets back from weekend trip and reads thread, facepalming at all the sassing going back and forth* Look, if you wanted to turn off your lights for an hour to contribute to environmentalism, great. If you didn't want to, fine. Either way, you all know more about some kind of environmental issues just by reading this thread than you might have otherwise, snarky comments back and forth notwithstanding. I was out of town this weekend, and having dinner about the time of the proposed lights-out venture. Fortunately, the restaurant left the lights and power on so that we could actually have hot food and could see where it was on the plate. I probably wouldn't have turned my lights out completely at home, but I might have considered turning off as many as possible, if for nothing else than to lower my electric bill. We make our contributions to environmentalism by feeding wild birds and recycling the stuff we're supposed to recycle, and occasionally participating in Cornell University's birdwatching studies--I've done the Christmas/New Year's day bird watching counts, and I signed up for eBird so I could report the Sandhill crane, Red-tailed Hawks, and Canada geese we saw this weekend.
