But like many other commenters before me, I’ll observe the BS fest, I’ll make it a point to have every light possible turned on. And for good measure, I’ll start the V8 in me SUV and idle it at 3000 RPM for the hour.

If we don’t stand up to these idiots, who will?

will everyone please join me in turning on all lights possible, all electronics, video game systems, music, etc, on that night? i want us to be a beacon of hope (lol) shining out in the darkness
also, MAKE SURE EVERYONE SEES YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, because if they know all the lights are on, and nobody there, its just silly.

i also advise you to keep your lights OFF before earth hour, then when everybody else goes off, you turn them on

Making signs is also good, make it funny, make it ironic, whatever, something like “do you part to save the earth, turn on all your lights for earth hour!”
or something a little less retarded, like “i support the efforts of man-bear-pig” or
“al gore is a faggot”
i think im gonna go with the second one

also, isnt styrofoam burning dangerous? please tell me hippies have requested you to burn styrofoam

Indeed!

(Has anyone ever done a movie version of ‘Atlas Shrugged’?)

Here in the Ozark forest we call home, there is no light visible on a summer’s night. I love it but we shall definitely be visible on this occasion.

What a great opportunity, though, for somebody to try to recreate Tesla’s experiments… I understand he was always overloading the city grids and causing havoc with his hijinx, so there’ll be, as people point out, LOTS of surplus ‘trons running around that might as well be used.

As a side note, if these idiots were actually successful in getting more than 10% of any given grid to turn off, they’d be well and truly screwed when they found at minute 61 that all of their power stations had shut themselves down to avoid turbine overspeeds due to sudden load loss. I’ve been in hydro plants when the main line fails… no fun and VERY dark. And then very quiet. By the way, do they want the fire departments to turn off their radios and alarms and stuff? Just curious if any of them had even heard of 2nd or 3rd order events.

Fools.

Welcome to Green Hell.

This is the symbolism of unworking action that highlights the stupidity of the green religion.

In the California blackout a few years back, when people actually saw the night sky they began calling 911 reporting all kinds of UFOs or other nonsense. It’s not healthy for that many people to be that ignorant about their basic universe.

Turn ‘em off on occasion I say. I’ll have my telescope ready.

Yep, its partially liquified and leaking out of my head.

Damn hippies.

The thing that gets me though is that it is such a meaningless and useless gesture, even for the lies they support.

Even if it’s not great, I’ll applaud the effort.

Anyway, let’s see… brooding music…

Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King” has always creeped me out. That might work well:

For the record when it comes to saving the planet I agree with Bender from Futurama ” Earth can bite my shiny metal ***!!!”

I submit that global warming only exists as a problem because people are afraid of CHANGE ( not the Obama kind, the good kind). The Enviroment CHANGES get over it and play some Left4Dead.
These people are as nuts as PETA, KKK, Neo-Nazi’s, Socialists, blah blah blah blah crazy phsycholiberal B.S

Don’t worry though I’m sure that a few hold-outs of people with common sense will survive the 2012 Obamaclypse and then the world will be restored to it’s rightful order and Dinosaurs will roam freely with Rocket Launchers on their back. And if any Liberal nutjob or PETA member survives this I will be amazed.

Remember The Green Party is only as powerful as the Socialist party.

Well I guess that I didn’t end that on as happy of a note as I thought I would…….

(while I sleep …)

How long does it take to spin up an electric generator? Quite a bit longer than an hour. So they won’t actually shut it off. It will still be burning fuel at the exact same rate. In the mean time just how much carbon are those candles spewing into the atmosphere?

Once again the reactive morons of the world doing more harm that good.

BTW, I love when they show waste heat coming out of cooling towers as if it’s pollution.

I swear that the whole point of crap like this is to be as laughable as possible so we fall asleep – and then they kill us all with an engineered super virus. Seems plausible enough. Stay frosty, people.
