Earth Hour Flops in Australia

J.J. Jackson* | April 2, 2008

Well, looks like not too many people are concerned about the hysteria of Global Climate Change based on this report:

Credit the public with sense. Earth Hour, hysterically promoted by The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, the ABC, SBS, Sky News and the federal and state governments, resulted in no significant fall in power usage.
Check the graphs from our National Electricity Market Management Company, tracking power use between 8pm and 9pm (a period in which demand always plummets):
…NSW may have had a tiny cut in demand just after 8pm, but in fact ended up the night using more power than the day before:

When you look at the graphs you see that on the 29th (during “Earth Hour”) between 8 and 9 PM demand was 7,800 (30 min average) on average. On the 28th during the same time demand was 5,000 (30 min average) on average.

So much for “Earth Hour” and the “consensus” that we have to do something now or save ourselves from some horrendous fate Al Gore has seen in his dreams (of power).
