It's insane for the Gaia-worshiping envirowhackos to shut off their lights for one hour, in their pipsqueak Luddite defiance against Industrialized Civilization.

WE had a partial black out here in San Diego when SDGE ran out of power. That is the kind of earth hour that faces us.

Don’t they have electricity in Canada?

Sure, they probably turned off their lights, but had the TV, computer, and cell phones on.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

In the duel of Earth Hour versus Human Achievement Hour, on Saturday evening, March 27, at 8:30 p.m. YourTime, it might be interesting to see who (reportedly) took the plunge into darkness & despair for Earth Hour, unlike the rest of us who celebrated lights ON for Human Achievement Hour.

  I am not making this up.

State government entities, including some capitol buildings, in

• Florida,
• Iowa,
• Missouri, Colorado, Wisconsin, Montana, Chicago, Atlanta, along with Kuwait, the Cook Islands and Russia, and
• Ann Arbor (but you knew that, right?)

Additionally:

• Ritz-Carlton DC, Nines Hotel in Portland, Ore., and Marriott-brand Renaissance Blackstone in Chicago
• Mount Rushmore
• Harrah's Entertainment -- Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Planet Hollywood, Paris Las Vegas, Bally's Las Vegas, The Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino, Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah's Las Vegas (VEGAS, FOR PETE'S SAKE!)
• Some "W" hotels
• 39 Broadway theaters in New York City (bummer, huh?), the St. Louis Arch, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Santa Monica Pier
• New England Patriots Tom Brady (see video) (And, I wonder if Gisele Bundchen, too?  And, whoa! with the carbon footprint these 2 must have!)
• 400 supermarkets in Beijing (that's ironic, right?)
• North Korea (every day)


Ironically, the rush to darkness troubled some government types, like the Niagara Falls fire department, who are worried about public safety.  

H/T and Thanx to Christine Hall @ CEI.
