What did liberals use for light before candles?

Electricity.

(Saw this yesterday on FR. Pardon the plagerism.)

I worked as a control center operator in a coal fired power plant for 31 years. Never noticed an excessive load drop during “Earth hour”. Never.

Load drops usually began after 11 pm when people went to bed.

Damn! I missed it! I usually use this event as my time to test every piece of power equipment, turn on every light, lamp, fan, blower and appliance in the house. Run the heat AND the air conditioner. Run the humidifier AND dehumidifier. Etc. After all, one needs to be sure one’s devices are properly functioning.

Sort of like “change your smoke alarm batteries when you change the clock” - test run everything with an engine, motor, plug or pipe for 1 hour during “Earth Hour”.

Should I burn a paraffin candle, or spermaceti candle?

The ultimate science deniers deny technology as a solution to our physical problems.

I wish I had known. I like to turn on all the lights I can.

Anyone else save electricity by driving for an hour, in the dark, with no headlights and with the radio off for good measure?
