Cities join together to turn off lights for Earth Hour, March 28

Here's Toronto at Earth Hour last year.

It is an annual symbol with mixed results. 

This irritates me. Now, I understand all of you environmental dorks believe in this crap, and that's fine, free country and all, but on March 28th I'm also taking a stand. To show how much I disapprove of cap and trade programs and more taxes on power, I will have everything I have that uses ANY electricity turned on for the full hour. I encourage everybody else to do the same.

I suppose the reason this irritates me so much isn't the whole global warming/climate change (whatever it is this week) its the fact that the government (once again) wants to punish businesses for being productive! It seems to me, Obama went into a room with his staff and said, "How can I screw things up even more? Oh! I've got it! Punish the people that are actually manufacturing things!" Now cap and trade sounds good to people who believe Al Gore (look, it's manbearpig! If you don't watch South Park you won't get that one...) but to those of us that work in, say, the mill, and would like to continue working their while what little steel is being made continues to do so, cap and trade is just another burden on companies. I covered this on my last show, why cap and trade? Why not offer tax cuts to companies that produce LESS than a set limit of carbon dioxide (which means all of us that work there will stop breathing every so often to help make money). That way companies have something to look forward to instead of sweating it everyday and worrying not just about making a profit, but whether or not Al Gore and the Eco-Nazis will come knocking on their door. It makes sense to me, but hell, what do I know. I don't drive a hybrid.

Yay Earth Hour! I will definately be taking part this afternoon. Can I turn everything off and go to the movies? or a laser light show? lol.. j/k.. i need some candles.

This is bleeding-heart-liberal NON SENSE. Castro has been cutting off the electricity in his country for decades and it has made no difference. If you really want to see a difference, tell Al Gore to STOP the noxious gas from spewing out of his mouth. What all this environmentalism really amounts to is that the elites think that everything is too good for those who are not of their ilk. Earth Hour how hypocritical... 

Travis Gearhart is right. "Cap and Trade" is for one single purpose and that is to bring America down to the level of the rest of the 3rd world so everyone can feel equal. Their can't be a New World Order, when AMerica is KING of the Hilll. Hang on people we have a ways to fall before we hit the bottom with Iraq and North Korea. Think I'm kidding? Just wait, it won't be long and you will see GOONS in NEW uniforms on YOUR street.
