From the media headlines you would think that Earth Hour has some impact on electricity usage. I actually heard some nutter claiming that electricity usage dipped by 10% in NSW in that hour. Truly impressive!
Well here is the graph showing electricity usage in various states last Saturday:
Apart from a slight dip in Queensland I can't see any real effect.
And if you plot electricity usage against the previous Saturdays:
Nope- absolutely no difference at all- like most green projects.

In our quest to justify ourselves and remove our God given sense of guilt for our sins apart from the cross, we humans come up with "Righteous Causes" to make ourselves feel better, as a kind of penance, putting a bandage on the cancer of sin that is killing us, not realizing how foolish we look.

Paul, I agree. People follow foolish causes, making tokenistic attempts to atone for imagined sins while ignoring the real salvation from real sins given to us by a real Saviour sent by a real God.

Daisy, these are state-by state and each state is in the same time zone. In the overall picture (the second graph) it's just NSW, a comparison of the Saturdays before.

Yes, differ timezone, but after this event, where is the saved power ? Bc it was intangible resourse, so what we saved seem to be wasting right after this event! This is not depending on where you live, when did timezone happen? It was depending on management ability and do you think so?
