Liberal Burblings

One of the oddities of going to the gym is that I get to listen Capital Radio in the middle of Berkshire. I couldn’t help noticing – mainly because they mentioned it 1,966 times every ten minutes when I was at the gym – that they are running a “Lights out London” event which will involve getting people to turn off their lights and other non-essential domestic appliances between 9pm and 10pm on June 21st.

Hello? It’s still light while I type this – without the light on – and on June 21st it will be even more light at 9pm.

Anyway, full marks to Capital. I do wonder how much energy the event will save (I am told some lights and appliances use more electricity if you turn them off and on again, than if you just leave them on). But it gets people thinking in the right direction.
