Exactly what global warming believers want, so it's good, right?
From today, Perth's skyscrapers and shops will shut down lifts and turn
off lights in an effort to save energy. West Australian Premier Alan
Carpenter yesterday appealed to commercial property owners to save
energy after last week calling on private households to turn off their
heaters and stick to four-minute showers.
Office buildings and shops will turn off decorative lighting and
electric signs, dim or reduce interior lighting, shut down some lifts,
lower the temperature on heating and encourage tenants to turn off
electrical appliances such as computers when not in use.
But, no, it's bad because the cause this time isn't Earth Hour:
THE Rudd Government is preparing for lower-than-expected national
economic growth as the lights have begun to go out in Perth because of
the disastrous West Australian gas explosion two weeks ago.
Good for the planet, bad for the people.
Draw the obvious connection between the global warming cause and your
prosperity and comfort.
