Earth Hour’s energy savings cancelled out

B.C. saved 24 megawatt hours of non-polluting electricity during Earth Hour

Re: Energy stars needed, March 23.

Congratulations. B.C. saved 24 megawatt hours of non-polluting electricity during Earth Hour.

This was replaced by candles and oil lamps that create CO2 and other pollutants, since few people sat around in the dark for an hour. It seems Earth Hour isn’t very well thought out.
