This reminds me, Civilization Day is on tonight. I will turn on all my lights to celebrate the triumph of human ingenuity over ignorance and hysteria. I will give special thanks to the coal plants that kept people from freezing to death this winter when the snow covered the solar panels and the windmills were halted.

So when do we turn all of our lights on? 1900, 2000, 2030?

If the Left gets their way they’ll have people committing mass suicide on Earth Day. Think of it as the Rev. Jim Jones on steroids.

I’ll turn on all the lights including the flood lights outside all day and night to help offset it and celebrate modern civilization and my ability to afford it.

I like Civilization Day so much I celebrate all day, but 8:30 to 9:30 in your local time would be great. Environmental luddites have said they are going to not use some electrons during that time, so there's just more for us to use. If I have time, I'll re-hang my Christmas lights.

I’ll be lighting up the neighborhood at 8:30 p.m. I hope to be seen from space this year.
I love to celebrate human ingenuity. Without so-called fossil fuels, life as we know it and live it would not exist.
I also thank God for providing these resources for us to figure out how to use them.
The CO2 theory is simply cover for communism.

Are you questioning their computer models? How dare you!

I doubt any tv stations will be running that Danny Devito Christmas movie in which he tries to get his house bright enough to be seen from space.

It will actually help the Pf from the grid. The asshats that turn off everything at once and then turn them all back on at once waste more energy than they will ever understand.

Thanks for the update on the time. There are many lights that have not been on since last year. Good time to test everything. :^)

You’ve got em’ figured. They wouldn’t last 8 hours without electricity. They just like to bitch because it makes them feel like they have a life.

I thought that was my cue to throw some more tires on the bonfire?!!

Must have lost something in the translation.
