The sad thing is that base load power stations are usually not keen to ramp down production just to ramp it back up again. At the most you'll take off a few of the smaller producers for a bit. Plus whatever small amount of fossil fuel you save during this hour will have already been dug out of the ground, so it's going to be sold and burned somewhere. Mining companies don't go "hold off on production this month, we're gunna have an earth hour".
Really this is just a distraction from the real action that we so desperately need.

@CI, I believe it was intended as more of an "awareness" approach, rather than an actual positive effect thing.
You know, by turning of all the lights, make the government/whatever realize that the people want change.

Just because I was feeling contrary, I turned on all the lights and appliances during Earth hour.

I'm pretty sure you didn't miss it....it's tonight (Sat.) in America - AIJ is just like a day ahead of us.
But I couldn't care less if you did or not, honestly.

That's right. But now it's over, although I have discovered my sister has a candle fetish.

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.
