I think engineers and specialists should emphasize to all these people that in fact by turning off the light we don’t really save anything; the power plants are still running and shutting them down and restart would mean much more waste than running the lights; and power itself as it is cannot be stored during the hour(s), therefore we don’t have any gain here either. What savings are we talking about? Let’s don’t be stupid! If we overall and consistently start saving energy, that is a different story because then we can shut down power plants for good. But until then everything is futile.
Earth Hour is really a good concept on how we could spend at least a few minutes of our time in remembering mother Eearth. people should be more aware and more caring of our environment now that we have Global Warming and Climate Change
Got something to say?
