Say what you will about Earth Hour requiring more energy to turn all of those lights back on when it's over, but this is just insanity.

"To: Diana in Wisconsin

This was my “Earth Hour” in 2008 (I missed 2009):

In counter protest several people (including myself) have elected to turn EVERYTHING on.

25 100 Watt light bulbs
5 computers
2 televisions
2 dvd players
2 vcrs
playstation
stereo
Heater (it’s cold outside)
2 floor fans
3 cars idling
oven cooking dinner
and 500 Christmas lights (still haven’t taken them down)

And a wife that now thinks I’m insane.

Unfortunately I couldn’t run the lawn mower because if you let go of the handle it turns off. Was too lazy to duct tape the safety bar closed.

Unfortunately this year I have taken my Christmas lights down. Maybe I could talk my wife into letting me put them back up."

Idiots!

They hurt themselves with their childish actions.

2. "And a wife that now thinks I’m insane." AND SHE'S RIGHT.

4. You don't watch "Mythbusters." It doesn't require more energy...

...to turn all of those lights back on when it's over.

NGU.

11. I feel insulted. I watch Mythbusters every week. nt

[ClassWarrior]

12. Sorry. Didn't mean to insult you. I should have said you apparently didn't see the episode...

...where they proved that the power spike at start-up is marginal.

:fistbump:

NGU.

6. I still see a lot of litter on the highways in Idaho. I often wonder if

most of it is from redneck types doing it in some childish way to get even with environmentalists.

7. He will have to pay taxes on that utility bills that will go right to the Marxists!

That extra $15 dollars may be just what the Marxists need to finish their evil agenda!

Mwaaaaaaahaahaaaahhaaa.

8. To:" Diana in Wisconsin"

Every freaking light in the house on.

All shades open

All flood lights on

Halogen work lights on extension chord in yard pointed outward

Corvette and Pic-up idling in the drive with the hoods open
and high beams on for no reason

Styrofoam bonfire
