They’ve been hyping this thing on radio and TV ads for two weeks now. This is very current.

That's all well and good, but you posted a link to a story about last year's event. I'm still trying to figure out when this year's is so I can light up some tires in the backyard.

Not me, I'll turn every light on, if I remember.

I'll meet them half way. If Obama will schedule another press conference at that time, I'll turn off the television.

This will drive my lib neighbors up the wall....

A noble goal in itself. I intend to measure my home's peak electric load during "earth hour". I will bet that I'm not the only one in the neighborhood doing so!

They were hyping it at work this week. I always do the opposite of what the left wants, and this will be no different.

I can turn on all five amps as well to celebrate. They draw some power.

Earth Hour - What a stupid concept!
In my area, 90% of the electricity is generated water - hydroelectricity...Hello lefties! spinning turbines - it's free!
What are they going to do? Save it all up in a giant battery farm?
