[NukeNet] REMINDER - Turn off your lights for 5 min. at 8pm on Sunday April 1st

[MoJo]

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature, but . . .
  
The ALLIANCE FOR NUCLEAR RESPONSIBILITY
invites everyone to join us this April Fool's Day,
and play a trick on Global Warming ...

TURN OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR 5 MINUTES 
  on
Sunday, April 1st, at precisely 8 PM (Pacific time)...
  
The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility asks all Californians to join us for a fun, simple, and useful experiment. All you have to do is turn off your lights (and TVs, Computers, DVD's if you wish).

AND HERE'S THE REASON WHY: Can five minutes make a difference? You bet!
On February 1st, residents of France and Spain turned off their lights for five minutes. The result? A savings of 800 Megawatts in France and 1000 Megawatts in Spain. Together, that almost equals the power output of either Diablo Canyon or San Onofre nuclear reactors. 

California utilities CAN measure the difference. More importantly, when the drop in usage is noticed it also helps prove that conservation
can make a difference. Of course, if you turn off your TV, computers and other electric equipment during that period the savings will be even greater. This conservation measurement will be useful to the California Energy Commission in their study of the full costs, risks and benefits of nuclear power.

"The lowest standards of ethics of which a right-thinking man can possibly conceive is taught to the common soldier whose trade is to shoot his fellow men. In youth he may have learned the command, 'Thou shalt not kill,' but the ruler takes the boy just as he enters manhood and teaches him that his highest duty is to shoot a bullet through his neighbor's heart - and this, unmoved by passion or feeling or hatred, and without the least regard to right or wrong, but simply because his ruler gives the word." Clarence Darrow, Resist Not Evil
