EARTH HOUR?

Only a few extreme environmental fanatics and anoraks were aware, but apparently we have just had something called Earth Hour, which was meant to be an hour when we switched off our lights to show we are serious about "combatting global warming". According to this article the event passed largely unnoticed, which just shows the general lack of interest.

For another take on this look at this article on "Carbon-sense" website. It makes the good point that without all the fossil fuel generated power we should find ourselves cold and dark for much more than one hour. Maybe it would be good to remind ourselves of what we could lose if power becomes too costly and unreliable.
