Hey Parrack, clue time here, guess which country spends MORE MONEY AND INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL than almost the entire rest of the world combined on investigating alternative energy? That said, I will agree with you the an event such as Earth Hour is a total waste of effort. I wouldn't be surprised in the least to find that the total carbon consumption to promote Earth Hour (and blather about it afterwards) was MORE than was saved by turning things off that hour.
