Lights out London

[GommeInc]

I think a town or city in the UK does that all the time? Or it was something planned at least, it's vaguely in my mind somewhere. I think it is a good idea, but not really for pollution as such. The thought of looking towards my town and not seeing an orange glow would be quite nice

Basically, street lamps go off between 22:00 and 06:00. Or something like that.

Allow that

It is allowed as far as I know. They're doing it.

Actually, he makes up a fair point. Global Warming to the Government is us doing damage to the planet. In reality, we are only slightly speeding it up. Global Cooling and Global Warming are just how the planet goes.

well the earth has been going through periods of global warming & cooling for millions of years. Global warming is going to happen regardless.

You do realise that whether or not people use the electricity it is still constantly generated at the power stations at similar levels. The amount of power generated doesn't fluctuate depending on the demand.

The only way of saving energy would be for the demand for electricity to fall consistently such that the power companies decided to slow down the operation of the power plant.

even though i'm a 12 hour plane journey away from London.

But they were trying to get loads of places to do the same not just london
