Please explain to me how you could feel so strongly against the billion watt turn off?
You seem to be a very caring and considerate person and to have a few minutes where we all attempt to make a stand hardly reminds me of the msm and their quest to dominate the weak minded. hell the weak minded wont even hear about the effort.
What really gives?

Just one question:
If everyone turns out the lights... are the generating facilities going to throttle down the generators?
If not... turning the lights out won't make much difference.

@OP: I contribute to saving the Earth every night when I sleep for around 8 hours. Does that count? One additional hour just to make a few environmentalists feel good won't make the slightest bit of difference.

If you don't use the electricity, it is lost energy. Sure, the generators aren't loaded, but the fire in the furnace still rages on...
