                This is stupid. They expect us the little guy to conserver. What about the government? what about fixing the traffic lights so they are more efficient?

                    You guys are so cool!

                    I just cannot wait to hear your responses when your children point their fingers at you and ask why you killed their world for them. When they ask why you couldn't even give up one hour of electricity to try and save it.

                                          A whole hour within an entire year?

                                          Please. That is pathetic.

                                          Why don't they turn off the lights every sunday between 2am - 6am? Or every night between 4am - 5am?

                                          And hour is an insult. Like Earth Day. Why don't we have Earth Day once a week?

                                          Because NOBODY really wants to make a sacrifice. That's why.

                                          My house runs 100% on solar power. I recycle. I drive a hybrid fuel car. I'm doing my part EVERY FUCKING DAY. Fuck the rest of you and your "hour" devoted to planet earth.

                                                While missing out on this experience, I had on (In my room alone)

                                                1) iMac
                                                2) Seperate 22" monitor (PS3 / iMac)
                                                3) PS3
                                                4) Surround Sound (Hooked up to PS3 / iMac)
                                                5) TV
                                                6) Window Fan (It's still a tad warm in here today)
                                                7) Another Fan (OK, i like it cool)
                                                8) Computer Light
                                                9) Rear room light
                                                10) Light on my 2.5g nano reef / heater / filter
                                                11/12/13) Lights over various animal enclosures (Mostly my Tarantulas)

                                                Hrm.... I've come to realize my room is breezy and bright.

                                                  Please. That is pathetic.

                                                  Why don't they turn off the lights every sunday between 2am - 6am? Or every night between 4am - 5am?

                                                  And hour is an insult. Like Earth Day. Why don't we have Earth Day once a week?

                                                  Because NOBODY really wants to make a sacrifice. That's why.

                                                  My house runs 100% on solar power. I recycle. I drive a hybrid fuel car. I'm doing my part EVERY FUCKING DAY. Fuck the rest of you and your "hour" devoted to planet earth.
                                                  Damn straight buddy!

                                                  Rather than spit in your eye and everybody like you I turned on every light in the house, and left my car idling in the driveway, almost out of gas :/

                                                          I know at least around here and many other places I have seen all of the traffic lights are now of the multiple LED style which by default would make them more efficient.

                                                          Who really gives a shit about the "what about the government". That is just up lame.
                                                          Also while I am at it, yes someone tries something small and perhaps silly. It will save some energy and who the fuck cares if it does or does not help the environment, one thing it will do is save you some fucking cash. That is part of the argument that I just find silly. Associate something with it being green or helping the environment seems to auto place it into the ridicule and do the opposite of type shit. Though most of the damn shit saves you money which improves your life - even if it does or does not help the earth.

                                                          Yes there are a few exceptions since the prices of a few things like solar systems are a bit high and do not pay for themselves as quickly or even at all yet for some. However many of the smaller ones (insulation, weather stripping, hot water heater blankets, whatever) save you cash.

                                                            Have you done research on "payback" periods for your solar system and the consumables in your car? I'm all for saving electricity but it's well known that solar panels (and probably your car's batteries) consume a lot of energy and raw materials when they're manufactured. Have you taken this negative offset into account when making your environmental decisions? ISTR some people say that a fuel efficient diesel car may actually be more environmentally friendly (OVERALL) than a Prius...

                                                                              I don't know... do we poison 20 mi.² and build a crapload of batteries or do we poison the world with more exhaust? That argument can kind of support nuclear energy as well... which I do believe in.

                                                                              I don't really have a problem with those batteries or those factories... they are what they are... I just don't think people can be pompous about using one without acknowledging that they too do contribute to the destruction of nature.

I'm curious as to what the average age for a power plant is in the United States. I bet it's pretty old. Newer technology must be incredibly more efficient and more environmentally responsible than the old plants.
