no they don't. they simply lower the machine's capacity, if there's any excess power, they simply store it somewhere and continue to lower the capacity after the earth hour.


people are smarter than you, you know.

something about the way power companies work they don't store any electricity at all I'm pretty sure

RE: Earth Hour
How the hell does using electricity harm the environment?

That's what I want to know.

it's something you get for free.. and can make with pretty much nothing... and has no emissions...

as for oil... that's a different story.

Indirectly.  Think of how the electricity is generated - by burning coal/gas.


Stopping usage for 1hr will hardly amount to much, but that's not the point, since this is more of an awareness campaign.

Yes.  A most of the electricity is generated that way.

Solar is too expensive, hydro and wind are too location limited, and nuclear is getting nowhere because of hurr durr-ing conservatives.

And coal is still the cheapest.
