    Hmmmm...

    Speaking of solar panels, I remember hearing about someone discovering what was like, the darkest matter or something. My question is, is anyone harnessing that into making better solar panels that'll absorb that much more of the sun's energy?

    Why would they go 100%? It's much better to stay connected to the grid and that way you can sell your extra solar power back to the power company.

    Earth Hour is about individual action and how together we can make a difference. If you care about the planet earth you will support this.

    I've had it with this Earth hour crap. The only awareness we need to raise is that the emperor has no clothes. People, you can not save the planet by turning off your lights. If we ALL turn off ALL our lights, and our cars, and our furnaces then we will all shiver in the dark tonight and the planet will STILL not be saved. There is a simple explanation.

    I hate to ruin everyone's day, but the Earth is not dieing. From time to time, it has an ice age. From time to time a really really big asteroid whacks it. The odd time a gamma ray burst from a dying star bakes us a bit. But still, the Earth survives.

    Honestly, do you believe that the Earth made it through four billion years of everything the universe could throw at it, yet you personally will kill it by driving your SUV to dance class? Does this seem reasonable to you?

    Education and a good administration are the unique way to save energy.

    Please, it is an empty gesture. As if doing or not taking part in this event means anything.

    If it goes to be a tradition, maybe additional 1 billion people that is projected increase of world population in the next decade or two will also turn off their lights for an hour once a year so the huge increase in consumption of energy will be slowed for at least that little bit.

    Fuck Earth Hour. I'm turning ALL of my lights on ALL FRIGGIN day to protest this garbage.

    Global Warming is the biggest CON in the universe. Quit being sheep and use your brain. Wake up... you are being scammed.

    Why have they changed "global warming" to "climate crisis"? Why? Cause it's a scam!

    Also, burning candles is 10 times worse than using a light bulb.
