1. Maybe it’s not about revenue. Maybe it’s about generating tax deductible receipts for “services” like ads.

2. Fearmongering has always been used to sell the news.
   “Storm Threatens Village”
   “Village Saved From Storm”
   The Envirowhacko greenie jihadi types have been selling their brand of fearmongering since Silent Spring, then the Club of Rome, then the Population Bomb. . . .

3. What a shock to learn there is a profit motive. Next thing we’ll find out Suzuki and Gore are laughing all the way to the bank. Perhaps they should change the name to the “Sucker Hour”.

4. I see that Coke is involved with this sham. I used to consume Coke however since their Polar Bears campaign started, I quit.
   Furthermore should we not be foregoing soft drinks because they use CO2 to pressurize their product. I mean if we are going to delay the roasting of the earth, well hey! If it saves just one polar bear…

5. I’m not even going to turn the lights off for Earth Twenty Minutes.

6. This whole “earth hour” campaign is classic manipulation tactics as outlined by Cialdini in his book “Influence”. What was found in Cialdini’s research was that just the act of signing a petition for a particular cause was enough to make the set of people who signed the petition far more likely to agree to having a large lawn sign put up on their property in support of the cause in comparison with those who didn’t sign the petition (these petitions were in support of fictitious causes).
   Thus, the WWW is programming people to be far more prepared to accept cuts in power consumption by participating in “earth hour” than they would be if they didn’t participate. Presumably the willingness of populations to partake of this superficially silly exercise is a means of judging how ready they are to accept the next step in watermelon policy. If there was a large response in Australia, it may explain why the Australian government has gone against the wishes of most people and implemented a carbon tax.
   For those in BC who have the spy devices installed on their electrical system, a simple Farady cage is all that is needed to prevent the meter from transmitting information about ones electrical usage. All that is necessary is some Aluminum foil which needs to be wrapped around the whole meter and grounded (most electrical meters have a convenient metal ground behind them). The transmitting antenna is a small exposed disk on the right bottom of the meter. One can cut a rectangle out in the Aluminum foil to allow BC hydro to read the meter manually but this simple action should deprive the statists of information they have no right to.
   For the more industrious, a fine metal mesh in the form of a box can be placed around the meter making it much harder for statists to remove.

7. I wanna work for charity! – but I don’t wanna shove my head up a Liberal’s ass:(

8. Hey Loki you should be wrapping that tinfoil around your head.

9. So by NOT participating in Earth Hour we’re actually sticking it to those big corporate bloodsuckers?
   Wow!
   Progressive heads will be blowing up everywhere trying to work that one out.
