dinsdale Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 There are millions of lights on every night in Thailand. Bit of a competition between provinces as to who can use the most lights to look the most beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post daveAustin Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 It’s a nice thought but they should focus on getting people to turn up their air con a bit. Some go ott and run it flat out. Domestically, lights, esp nowadays, don’t use much juice; it is mostly aircon, hot water showers and ovens etc. The rich in massive houses and big industry with innumerable fluorescents are main culprits of electricity usage. But hey let’s go after the little people as usual. 🙂 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 At 8.30PM our lights, A/C, TV etc. will be running on stored solar energy. It's actually a pain to turn the lights off, each has a separate remote control and none of the remotes have batteries. I think they'll stay on 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Night light in kitchen will be on, along with 65" TV, laptops, AC, air purifier, frigs, outdoor lights (independent solar). Off grid of course, and why would I do anything different, because people who can't run the country, planet efficiently suggest otherwise. If they weren't such idiots to begin with, there wouldn't be an imaginary energy, ecological problem. Just another reason for another carbon tax: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which times most people light candles , which is what most people would do if they turn their lights off. Candles produce 10x the pollution a lightbulb produces. But the optics of turning of the lights would be good (Pun intended) It is a symbolic act that at least raises awareness, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeworld Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Haha, like this is going to make any difference. Probably after the lights come back on there is a surge of electric demand to make up for the hours it was switched off. The only thing that improves earth is less human births to consume and pollute. Edited March 23 by freeworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either have to have spinning reserve or fire up some more generation quickly.......not much stored energy in the network I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
