Earth Hour 2010

National Post editorial board: Leave your lights on

My only regret is that my house is fairly new and I have CFL bulbs in most of my light sockets, so turning all my lights on won't effectively use as much energy as it should. That notwithstanding, my lights will be on, my fireplace lit up, my furnace fan running and I'll be sitting on my deck drinking a beer and seeing how many other lights are on.

We have enough blackouts in our area to know what a completely dark city looks like. Hopefully it won't look like that tonight.
