We don't have anything on standby except the video player, yes we still have and use one of those ancient machines regularly. It's got less to do with saving power and more to do with generating less heat in the house as this is a very warm house. | gary67 (56) | ||

Empty Government offices lit up like Christmas Trees all night every night, and not to be outdone businesses following suit. All these organisations pass the cost on. As one of the vast majority of householders who have to pay their energy costs out of a limited amount of revenue each month, I make a practice of not wasting my money paying for energy I don't need . I left my lights on during Earth Hour, because I don't think Earth hour changed anything. |

| 759513 | 2009-03-30 06:58:00 | The day after Earth Hour, I get a letter from Genesis Energy saying: "Your electricity prices are changing". No prizes for guessing which way, up or down, they are going. Go figure. |

| 759517 | 2009-03-31 05:05:00 | I probably sounded a bit combative. http://www.systemoperator.co.nz is great for realtime stuff. www.electricityinfo.co.nz gets data from the SO and archives it. Both are useful. |
