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

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.

The locations will remain open, but with limited lighting during this hour.

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?

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

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.

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 !

Virginia Commonwealth University participates in Earth Hour, turns out the lights

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.)

Sadly, I will be participating in this earth hour scam this year. I’ll be camping and have no electrical power nearby at all.

Let me get this straight...they are turning out the lights in a campus dining hall? Sounds like a good opportunity to use up all that expired mystery meat!

I remember eating dorm food back in the day. It would have tasted better if I didn’t have to have seen it.
