Worldwide Darkness for 5 Minutes

Tomorrow night, from 12:55 to 1 am Eastern, there's a movement on to unplug all electrical devices -- most importantly lights.   Just for five minutes.  Just to see what happens.  If the response is big enough, the energy saved in 5 minutes could be massive (although it's a Friday night, so the numbers might be a bit thin...)

Organizers say the goal is to give the planet 5 minutes "to breathe."  We're more interested to see what will happen if this goes down on a major scale.  The damage those 5 minutes' worldwide blackout might do to energy corporations' revenue could be devastating... which could actually have a positive impact energy consumption. So tomorrow night, fight the power -- light a candle.  Give it a try.
