| More to come on the Earth Hour Impact |
Energy authorities say the impact of last night's Earth Hour event was the equivalent of two large power stations being temporarily shut down.
Again, Earth Hour is/was a worldwide stand against global warming. Millions of people were expected to participate at 8 p.m. respectively. The wave of candle light began in Australia with even Sydney's Opera House going dark.
I am sure today we will hear more about the impact and I'll be updating to keep you all informed.
Update on impact:
Commonwealth Edison, the electrical utility company servicing Chicago and northern Illinois -- said that about 840,000 pounds of carbon dioxide were kept out of the atmosphere during the voluntary power shutoff Saturday night, the Chicago Tribune said.

Isn't it neat how people come together for such an event? Though it is unfortunate that there are still a lot of holdouts out there.
