No- regardless of my action, the potential energy of the water power that lights my home, will become kinetic energy as it flows down either the penstock to the turbine or simply tumbles over the spillway. One way or the other, gone 'till the next rain or snow, regardless of my light switches!!But I do turn off unused lights to lower my electricity bills!Alex Reid

Im in Jim, its nice to actually disconnect for awhile :(

 

 

In celebration of Earth Hour I intend to start all 3 1MW and 2 250kW diesel generators at my disposal. :( The internal combustion engine; too good not to love. Dinosaurs died so I could keep my beer cold.Cheers, SLuggy

I do not have a signature. Why are you reading this?

Its a con. Everyone that preaches about it, with the exception of those that genuinely live in caves, will switch off for an hour then turn everything back on.That will give them a sense of wellbeing and they will tell their grandkids in 40yrs time that they helped save the planet etc. :(

I did participate and I'm satisfied. Something good and also fun.I hope I didn't insult anyone with the fact. :(

Y'know, I'm not always right but I'm never in doubt. It must really give you a warm. gooey feeling, to think you're contributing to the wellbeing of the planet by being environmentally aware and embracing this con that is Climate Change. Notify the media: Climate Change has been happening for (now, let me see) 4.5 million years? Yet, you get this group that call themselves, 'Environmental Scientists' (Meteorologists), who say they can predict the weather conditions on Earth in 50 years time. Well...My experience with these, so called, 'Environmental Scientists' (Meteorologists), is that they can't accurately predict the weather, tomorrow, yet , some believe they are accurate in their predictions for 50 years hence. Not this 'little black duck'.There's more than a touch of Cynic in me, which subscribes to the prediction (and the main reason, Politicians embrace the con of climate change) that it's an opportunity to foist a feeling of 'Guilt' on the populace and therefore, justifying a huge new tax on the AIR. I mean, they've taxed everything else to the hilt and wasted the money. They need more money to waste. AIR!!, That's THE ANSWER!! I applaud you for your efforts on the behalf of Mother Earth. I'm sure you must love her, as I do...but please, don't be conned into thinking you're making any kind of difference to anything regarding Climate Change. Mother Earth has dealt with it for 4.5 million years. Nothing as insignificant as humans is going to deter her from doing it for another 4.5 million.Jon

Nobody's trying to predict anything, these "Environmental Scientists" as you call them (they're not meteorologists, typically they're geologists) are using data that's been scientifically obtained to establish a trend; "here's what happened in the last 50 yrs compared to what happened over the last 5000 years, and if we keep going like we are, here's what we can expect in another 50 yrs...".

You're right about that, and she's in the process of purging herself of this insignificant deterrent as we speak.

Having personally taken the time to plough through many of the documents known as Emailgate (I'net exchanges between Global Warming "scientists") - I'm inclined to class global warming theory in the same category as the South Seas Bubble of 1720.Alex Reid
