why are they turning their lights off?

[:LeKevin:]

I can't see BB turning off the lights somehow, worth a shot though XD

[Flisker]

why are they turning their lights off?

they are turning them off for an hour to show to the world that England is doing something about it.

does that mean there will be nothing on TV at time, from london studios?

[Flisker]

There will

[ViRgIn]

Allow that

[DiscoPat]

screw that

[dirrty]

i dont live in london but if i did i wouldnt turn mine off tbh

[Liam!]

wont make any difference, 1 hour?

[indian8132]

Is it London and Parts of Kent near London? I hope not. Is it like, ALL of London, and arent there parts which urgently need electricity, like Big Bens lighting?

[jackass]

1) It takes more energy to turn the light off, then on quite soon.
2) What is the point?
3) I don't even live in London anyway
4) We cannot see in the dark

And many more points. ;)

[Ashhizzle]

I'm turning everything on :) Comp, dvd, ps2, charging mp3, charging phone

Just to be a *****

[2hd.]

no, I'm going to a BBQ and I'm not planning to stand up and shout EVERYONE TURN THE LIGHTS OFF.

[Flisker]

But if you turn off lights not alot of electric will be used and if everyone turn there lights off its like taking 3/4 of a million cars of the road...

No, because the majority of people nowadays use power-saving bulbs. Which hardly uses any power and turning them off, then on again takes up more than just leaving them on.

[summer]

isn't the big brother house in hertfordshire though?

[Yum999]

wont make any difference, 1 hour?

Given that there are well over 40 million lightbulbs in London, you'd be quite surprised.

[Minstrels]

Now if I was a thief I would love that. No lights on at all for an hour, prime time to do some stealing hey?

Sad southern Londoners 'Lets save electric by turning the lights off for one hour' hmm yeah, great idea.... :rolleyes:

Edit: Just thought wont there be a power surge if everyone in London did it? :l

[Shinigami]

People who was saying about being in the dark, you do realise its summer. maybe look out your window for once. =/

Global Warming doesn't exist, so they are all wasting their time :)

[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.

[Virgin Mary]

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

it does.:rolleyes:

don't make up all this ****.

[Flisker]

Picadilly Circus looked weird with the BIG bilboards off...

[GommeInc]

it does.:rolleyes:

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.

[Joemaphobe]

it does.:rolleyes:

don't make up all this ****.

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

[Concentric2]

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.

[-Soph-]

I turned mine out baha...

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

[Flisker]

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

[:Hazel]

the phrase "pointless exercise" comes to mind..

[-:Undertaker:-]

it does.:rolleyes:

don't make up all this ****.


So i'd like you to explain how all the other Ice Ages and Warm periods came please, because there weren't any factorys then!

The planet has always been warming and cooling, OMG ITS WARMING EVER SO SLIGHTLY NOW THAT MEANS ITS ALL OUR FAULT - It's not.

I read somewere that the Ice Caps haven't been as thin as they are now since about 100+ years ago, funny how people like Al Gore don't mention things like it was happening years ago before we had any factorys.

[GommeInc]

I've think you've ruined his dream of thinking dinosaurs drove cars, plane and created factories. Meany :P

It is kinda pointless exercise, the only thing I can see that is good about it is that the orange glow in the sky would of slightly disappeared.

The earths buggered up already, what'd this do? Nothing...

[LeftForDead]

some thiefs will be rich in the morning:P
