Apparently the "Earth Hour" website is down ("The page you are looking for is currently unavailable"). Probably couldnt handle all the hits from google.

I turned my lights UP --- and turned 'em all on at once. And...we think we'll take a long ride in our 4 wheel drive truck...just to top things off.

I love it when the rules have to be broken by the ‘sympathizers’ haha

In true corporate decision - Google went on the money road.

Wonder what the power surge will be like when all those brain dead liberals flick their lights back on? Why is it that liberals can never follow something to its logical conclusion?

I intend to turn on every light in the house and shine out there for all TO SEE!! This stupid Observing Earth Hour” is all part of the Global Warming hoax which is designed to in part bring down capitolism that is the bread and butter of our country. Think about it folks....who will be getting rich off of all this??

Guess I’ll fire up the arc welder from 8 to 9.It draws about 50 amps at 220 volts,much more effective than turning some lights on.

This website claims
Unfortunately, on LCD monitors sized 22 inches or less, Google’s new black actually consumes more energy than its usual white one.
Gotta love it!
