I turn lights and televisions off as I leave rooms as a matter of course, but I think things like this are wrongheaded. We should not conserve by turning off power to normal, useful things like bridge lighting or average home lighting, or whatever. I don't want a world where it's not a good thing to light up a pretty opera house at night. If that's a problem, build more power plants. If you don't want some form of impact from those plants, choose their nature accordingly, whether it be coal or nuclear or wind or solar. Frankly, I'd rather tax the electrical grid and make power plant construction more a priority. So, I'll probably leave more lights and things on during this event. I know it's just me, but everyone can make a difference! I’m not a fan of this sort of conservation.
