5.2%

The 5% goal power cut goal here in Ontario was met -- in fact, it dropped 5.2% during Earth Hour last night.

I think the message to all of us is we should try to make this a daily thing, not just once a year. Figure out where and when we need to use power and only at those times. Cities should also invest in light standards that only light the street and NOT the night sky. If we got together and did those two things, we wouldn't need those two new nuclear reactors that are supposed to come on line. And we'd get back the starry nights that only people in the country can enjoy.
