Our company is pushing this.... I feel to truly make an impact it should not be limited to lights... it should include electronics as well! We don't use the lights much at night anyway.

that's just me...

In and of it's self it's meaningless. The sort of people that will do this and still drive huge cars are the problem and there's no changing them.

On the other hand, most of the people that do this will be switching off Energy Saving light bulbs and already use their Poo to grow veggies anyway:P

I drive a wee Toyota Echo, and yes; I'm going to participate in something that might help.

momentary fluctuations in power demand don't do anything anyway do they?

it's not like they stop shovelling coal into the power station for an hour is it?

Sort of. (More like they throttle back on natural gas.) The power doesn't just "go away" - less power used means less power generated.

Personally I plan to switch to batteries and run on them for an hour!
