Demand for power goes down

The power company loses billions of dollars in unsupplied/unpayed for power
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
I'm pretty sure they do store it.
And it's not like a problem that suddenly arises like a plant failure. Instead they know this is happening every year and they know that approximately this many people will shut off their lights (but many still will be using their televisions and computers) so they know about how much less power they need to be giving out and adjust accordingly.

Then the final frontier commences...
Until one has a deadline, one has no pressure to perform.
Perhaps the world running out of air in 3 years will encourage the US government to sell NASA to companies prepared to actually invest in progress, invest in our future, and invest in big fudgeing spaceships which will get us off this block of cheese.
The way things stand right now (no deadline, invisible / unmeasurable threat), the US government (and many other governments, for that matter) stand to make many millions of dollars from so-called "carbon-credits".
I'll "pay" you, because I emit more.
The gods must be crazy.
I turned the hydroponics to mega-grow on earth hour.

Everything that lives is bound to die, now how fast it dies depends on us. . .but I'm too lazy to care
