12.4% energy cut in Brisbane between 8pm and 9pm last night

I'm glad that companies like google are getting behind this sort of awareness-raising project. It's important

I'm disappointed, that my home was the only one in darkness in the cul-de-sac, though i should'nt have been too surprised really. My neighbours are not for being environmentally friendly in any sense of the word.

I was pleased to see google getting behind this campaign but I don't remember hearing anything about it on the local, or national news. Still, one step at a time eh?

Unfortunately I was driving back from Albuquerque last night during the appointed hour - I tried turning my headlights off, but the folly of that soon became apparent.

At any rate, the car is fueled with bio-diesel, so there's some comfort in that.

An update that interested me. It appears the UK did do a lot more than was originally reported.
