For Earth Hour, let’s celebrate electricity as a ‘gift of the gods’

The difference between the Dark Ages and the present

“On the evening of March 23, 1.3 billion people will go without light for the rest of the night—just like every other night of the year. With no access to electricity, darkness after sunset is a constant reality for these people. See the video above from Bjorn Lomborg’s environmental think tank - the Copenhagen Consensus Center - with a different message for this Saturday’s Earth Hour.”

According to the WUWT blog, the picture below shows a satellite view at night of North Korea, the winner for Earth Hour in every year since 2003. Odds favor them to be the winner again this year. Earth Hour has been such a stunning success in North Korea, that it’s “always Earth Hour there”, according to Alan Caruba, who comments that “electricity is truly a gift of the gods. It is the difference between the Dark Ages and the present age.”
