Governor Bob McDonnell is looking for things to cut. The academy is target rich with things to cut.

VCU. Not a surprise. Virginia’s Communist University.

Well, if we could convince most of the Universities in the U.S. to turn out the lights - AND KEEP THEM TURNED OFF - America might be a much better place.

Perfect!

I hope someone stumbles about in the dark, trips over a desk, and sues the university for everything it has...

"By simply turning out all nonessential lighting for one hour"

Duhhhhh if there are not essential why are they on in the first place?

[Ingtar]

What time do I need to turn on the lights?

[rosco coltrain]

I’ll have to write this date down on my calendar and remember to turn on every light in the house for an hour in there honor.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Thanks for reminding me....gotta turn on every friggin light on my property Saturday night

[AngelesCrestHighway]

How about turning the damn lights back on and studying so you can find a job and help pay for Obamacare?

We always called it Viet Cong University.

Guess they want it to be more like North Korea --

I just designed their new cancer center lighting. It’s pretty green as far as lighting go, better than the previous design.

“the world’s largest climate change event”

I believe it was the emperor Caligula who battled the sea. Now we’ve advanced to taking on climate. That’s progress. In any case, I wonder if any of these participants will see the irony of turning out the lights and sitting in the dark. Probably not.

I celebrate every Earth Day by turning on every light in the house. I only wish I had a big spotlight or searchlight in my yard to light up.

[DuncanWaring]

8:30 PM Saturday, local time, as I understand it.

I’ll be turning on all the lights, the furnace, and washing a load of laundry.

Probably causes cancer. Green cancer.

[Pilated]

Precisely, we will turning every light in the house on at that hour too.

[Ingtar]

Thanks, I needed to know when to use my hour of electricity alloted to me here in Soviet America.

In 2009 the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in the link below, offered a short video in celebration of Human Achievement, a concept they promote to counter the leftist-ecotard-dimwits' Earth Hour (very appropriately symbolized by "lights out" as in the superstitious Dark Ages).

 

Celebrate Human Achievement Hour,
March 28, 2009 !

Students who wish to study during that hour may congregate in my backyard where I will light up my woods. (Pilots on approach to RWY 27 at CDW look to your left when on short final.)
