As previously mentioned, highly doubt it really saved any energy considering all the extra cars that were on the strip for the spectacle. Great publicity stunt.

You've run through a seemingly endless stream of money by buying overpriced hotels and building condos in a city where you couldn't give a condo away if you offered a blowjob to anyone willing to take it off your hands. Wouldn't you jump at the chance to cut your power bill a million dollars by turning off the lights for an hour? Hell you'd be asking to make it Earth Year! This is probably more on point:

The money already wasted and yet to be wasted is mind boggling.

For every "study" that points to an increase in this or that, there are offsetting studies that will make the opposite point. It all depends on which one you want to market to the public. In the past 20 years, researchers have found that Antarctic sea ice has actually been increasing, not decreasing. So much for scuba-diving in Midtown Manhattan. It's not going to happen in your (or your grandchildren's) lifetime. For the sake of argument, let's say "Global Warming" Is real. I walk and bike more than 99.99% of Americans, so don't point the stink finger at me. Anybody who is REALLY worried about it should shut the hell up and stop driving instead of organizing huge, polluting rallies of a million people. Just shut the hell up and do it already. If everyone who opened their gaping face holes practiced what the preached (Al Gore), the problem would be over. I guess that would defeat the purpose, though. If everyone doesn't gather and watch each other care for the earth, it's not nearly as much fun. These "Eco" things are social events, man. Nothing more, nothing less.

They assume we'll solve the energy problem and the global warming ones also.

It's fiction, but reference wise are scientific articles, definitely worth a read if you get a chance.

The entire movement resembles religion more than environmental science.

No.

“No.”

Rhetorical question?

“You’re words are very scary. ”

Not half as scary as my monstrous genitalia.

It’s doubtful.

I can see this being slightly more meaningful in towns where the juice comes from fossil fuels or nuke power. pardon my ignorance, but doesn’t all the power in Vegas come from Hoover Dam, so it’s essentially ‘free’?
