Sorry for the vanity post, but please join me in turning every light on in your house, your neighborhood, your out houses or whatever. What better way to celebrate EARTH HOUR? The "progressives" would love us to live in their 12th century vision of Utopia, let's show them what we think. Let's vow to make next year one these communist, Marxist, pseudo environmentalist will never forget. Drill, baby, Drill but in the meantime burn a few bucks to annoy them!

I got carried away a little bit and had to turn a few lights off.

Dam airplanes kept trying to land in my yard.

Earth Hour in North Korea a stunning success!

The WWF sponsored Earth Hour has already come and gone in the Korean time zone, and the North Korean proletariat has claimed a stunning victory over its evil capitalist neighbor, South Korea.

Oh, wait.

Seems it is always that way.

I like this line from Alan Caruba at the link below:

“Like fire, electricity is truly a gift of the gods. It is the difference between the Dark Age and the present age.”

I leave my lights on all the time anyway so that is no change for me. The weather is perfect here now (yes perfect weather in Houston) so I don;t need the heat or the a/c. I know........ I'll turn on the heat until it becomes uncomfortable and then the a/c to cool it back down again. Yeah, that's the ticket! (I am not really going to do the heat/a/c thing because it is too much trouble and like I said the weather is perfect!)

What time does this begin?

"Earth Hour" is already past here in the eastern time zone. It was between 8:30 and 9:30pm.

Celebrate Human Achievement Hour,
March 27, 2010 !
Force of Darkness “Earth Hour” Challenged by Power of Light “Human Achievement Hour”

CEI Announces 2nd Annual Celebration of Human Achievement

Washington, D.C., March 19, 2010—The Competitive Enterprise Institute, a leading free-market think tank, will celebrate the Second Annual “Human Achievement Hour” between 8:30pm and 9:30pm on Saturday, March 27, 2010. The one-hour celebration coincides with “Earth Hour,” an hour in which governments, individuals, and corporations will dim or shut off lights to symbolically renounce the environmental impacts of modern technology.

“Earth Hour’s creators suggest that human inventions and technology are a problem, but we see the ability to create and innovate as the ultimate resource,” says Human Achievement Hour founder and CEI Policy Analyst Michelle Minton. “Environmental challenges will not be solved by turning off our lights and symbolically hiding in the dark,” Minton added. “If anything, we should be looking to technology and innovation to help solve environmental problems.”

Just like last year, countless individuals, organizations, agencies and businesses will be celebrating Human Achievement Hour without even realizing it. Just by not shutting down their lights, operations and stores, they will be acknowledging that productive effort and the pursuit of happiness are a better alternative than sitting in the dark.

In addition to the observance of Human Achievement Hour, wherever people may find themselves around the world, CEI will be hosting a happy hour event outside of Washington, D.C.
