On March 29th, starting at 8:30 pm locally in most cities in the world, everyone is supposed to turn their lights off and use no electricity for an hour for "awareness" crap.
I say we do the opposite. We turn on EVERY LIGHT in the house, we turn on all our appliances and TV's, lawn sprinklers, etc. In other words. In fact, go rent some outdoor lights for the night and turn THEM on on your property. It probably won't cost more than an additional 5% of your monthly bill, but if we can get a BUNCH of people to at least turn ALL their lights one, we can show everyone off.
For the most part, I'm very frugal with my own appliances, but only because it costs unnecessary money to turn on the lights. I am extremely angry that the libs and the feel good police are FORCING inane, STUPID STUNTS like "Earth Hour". Imagine MILLIONS of Reagan-Limbaugh conservatives ACROSS THE NATION in SOLIDARITY by TURNING UP THE LIGHTS during the VERY hour that all the minions have turned off themselves.
Let's build on this. Any more ideas??

Fire up your cars, motorcycle, boats, and lawn mowers? :lmao:
Supposed to be nice this weekend. I may take my bike out of storage.
-
I hadn't heard about earth hour this year. Last year was a flop by all accounts so I shall do my part to make it fail again.
-
Last year I had every light in the house on as well as all outside and garage lights.
I don't think a single damn person noticed or cared.

The cable access channel has been turned into the Mayor Dean propaganda channel. Any stupid idea our new mayor has gets pimped out to the public; this was the first place I heard about this. The city is participating in this.

No, we should all get behind this. I mean take it to the extreme, shut down all electric consumption for one hour. Don't even have the digital clock on the VCR, TV, etc. working. Hell, pull the meter out on the side of your house at exactly 8:30 ET, 7:30 CT and 6:30 on the west coast.
If you know any thing about electrical power generation, you'll understand. After that hour when the DUmmies flip the light switches on and the lights don't come back on, maybe a few of them will get a clue as to how it all works. It would take at least hours to put everything back back on line, maybe even days or weeks.
I would survive, you'd survive, but the question is, would the DUmmies survive their own stupidity?......I think not.....It would be well worth the inconvenience to just watch them rant and rave about the national disaster situation their stupid little stunt caused.

The flaw in your logic is assuming the DUmmies will practice as they preach and actually turn anything off.

I'm going to spend the day eating cabbage and drinking beer.

My power bill runs between 400 and 500 bucks a month. I must regretfully inform you that I cannot participate in your protest. :amsmiling:

Dayum, you could almost cause a brown out all by your self if you shut everything down and then turn them back on at once. :lmao:
My last power bill for January was @$140.

Please leave all power on and air filters running.

Just like no one ever notices or cares about the environuts' stunts.

If the liberal envirotards want me to do my part, I can trip a couple of breakers real easy.
Three states dark, just like that.

Sunday, March 29th? From 8:30 to 9:30?
Those f*ckers expect me to miss "Family Guy"?
Kiss my :censored: pal. You can make me miss Family Guy when you pry the remote from my cold, dead hand.
By the way, it's actually Saturday, March 28. My reply remains the same, just substitute COPS for Family Guy.

"Earth Hour"?
(http://www.geocities.com/soonerborn91/farks2/obama1984.jpg)
Is that anything like "Hate Week"?
-
Well, I guess I could say my house is lit up like a Christmas tree on any given night anyway so I guess I'll be inadvertently participating.
Then again, maybe that's why my damn power bill is so high. Hmmm.... (http://usmilnet.com/smf/Smileys/default/hmm.gif)

Do you 'suppose Uncle Zer0 will shut down the WH for an hour? :fuelfire:

Fat chance.
In any case, this is exactly like the "not one damn cent" day. Utterly, utterly worthless.

Normally, I don't advocate such lunacy as that I proposed. I'm a non-idiotic type of guy that doesn't advocate fighting stupidity on a small basis. I'm actually hoping that Limbaugh would pick up on this so he can work his own magic with HIS 14 million unique listeners. Now THAT would be epic!
-

My point exactly.
-
I kind of remember this from sometime in the past, I remember turning on all the lights and appliances in my house. Some lights for a couple of days because I forgot about the ones in the basement
-
I like the idea. I thought "Carbon Belch Day" was a funny idea too.
Like everyone else though, I will probably just forget about the whole think till it's long over.
-
Hey! Looks like I'll be able to participate in the counter-Earth Hour statement after all. I had to work Sunday, so that person will be working for me Saturday (that's the plan, anyway).
-
I plan to light my home using the oil harvested from fat hippy chicks.

The EPA (and probably DEA) will not like this idea.
Which makes it even sweeter.
-
Maybe I'll cook some spotted owl over a coal fire. :fuelfire:
Meanwhile every light in the house will be on and all the faucets will be running hot water.
Dinner will be served on styrofoam dishes and with plastic utensils.
The office moonbats are all in a lather about it. They've been running around putting up little posters to try to get all of us to "save the planet". :whatever:
-
Rush Limbaugh just had a segment blasting Earth hour, and he's going to light up HIS ENTIRE ESTATE for that hour. Guess I can call it, huh??
-
I'm going to spend the day eating cabbage and drinking beer.
Now THAT's what I call a PLAN! :cheersmate:

I had already planned to turn on all of my energy-wasting lights and appliances tonight. I'm glad other people are doing the same too.
They have even put a name to the counter-movement: Human Achievement Hour.

Earth Day is about over here in California. What is funny is that, as a normal rule, I'm very frugal with my energy usage during the month, turning off unneeded lights and opening windows in hot weather rather than turn on the AC. In short, I am an energy conversationalist because I am a capitalist, and don't wish to spend unneeded capital for reasons of laziness.
I turned on every light in the house...all two stories. IN addition, I had obtained some photography lights from a friend and turned them on in my house and shone them out of the window onto the street. Believe me, at 900 watts those suckers are VERY bright!. Finally, I started all three of my vehicles and let them idle for an hour, making sure all of THEIR lights were on. So it ended up my house was the only one on our block with all the lights on.
I did get a bunch of people to come over, and I mentioned that I was CELEBRATING man's INVENTIVENESS due to the fact of free, unadulterated capitalism and scientific achievement. Many were angry, but could do nothing. All in all, it was very successful.
Well, nine thirty. Time to turn the lights off an revert to being frugal again.

I did some extra driving in my evil pollution-mobile this evening.

Earth Hour claims a victim...
A Mississauga family who tried to light a candle for Earth Hour nearly burned their Meadowvale townhouse down.
“She was lighting up the candle and we thought it didn’t light up or the match fell somewhere that we didn’t notice and then we left,†said Ms. Khalid. The family was going to see friends and when getting ready, they lighted scented candles so they could see.
Platoon Chief Paul Hunter of the Mississauga Fire Department said the fire caused an estimated $15,000 damage.

Well shit, I missed it. Must have been while I was mowing the lawn and then BBQing a big ol' fat steak.
-
I will have to be satisfied with running the AC at "Freezer" setting all day, while I was outside playing with petrol powered toys. Even used one of them to
cut down brutally murder a tree.
Then did a big roast bird with all the sides.
I hope my contribution was sufficient to at least compete in this great event. :-)

Did you at least have the common courtesy of hugging that tree before you murdered it?
