There was a brainstorming session that led to an idea similar to this, but hopefully Earth Hour has enough momentum to make an impact in the US. The stats themselves are staggering: "On 31 March 2007, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour - Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year." I'd like to see a picture from space that showed the impact of this one hour.
