We take an hour out of day to talk about how awesome our planet is and how much we hate mars.

You turn off your lights/power for an hour on earth day at a certain hour of the day.

A few quick questions:

How much energy do we save during that hour?
&
How much energy do we use by simply starting everything back up?

I know they probably aren't that close, but it would be interesting to see how effective earth hour is.

it doesn't do it over all, it goes by city, like in 2008, Chicago went down about 7% in energy use, and in 2007, Sydney's energy use drop by 10.2% Besides that WWF is not releasing energy-savings estimates for this year's Earth Hour.

Good info.

I was just wondering, because most people shut the power off at their breaker and turning it back on spikes the power.
