Earth Hour is an initiative by WWF that happens
on the last Saturday of March annually and consists of households and businesses turning off their non essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour. The goal is to help fighting climate change.
But what is the real impact of this Earth Hour?
According to what I have read, it is little and it could cause problems to the electricity supply such as grid failures, outages and blackouts. The load reduction of a massive light and electricity turn off could cause problems, because the baseline of non-renewables, dams and nuclear that provide security in supply would shut down and need to be restarted.
An interesting discussion about the Earth hour side effects.
Comparison with candles on Earth hour stupidity.
