Earth hour increases electricity usage


Andrew Landeryou presents this graph of Sydney's power demand on three Saturdays, the final one being Earth Hour. This past Saturday there was a large spike in usage BEFORE Earth Hour, presumably as people put forward the things they were intending to use electricity for so they could "save" power during Earth Hour.

There is some criticism of the figures on his blog, so the graph isn't definitive. But it certainly gets you thinking...
