Here are a few shots of Toronto during Earth Hour last night. Just before 9pm, the meter at the Toronto Hydro control centre hit a low of 2,738 megawatts - 5 per cent below the demand an hour earlier and about 8.7 per cent less than a typical late March Saturday night.
The first two pictures are from the Associated Press and the third, our skyline as seen at 8:27 p.m. on March 29, 2008 compared with how it was seen at 8:19 p.m. on March 26, 2008, is from The Toronto Star.
between 5 and 8 percent ?
..not bad.. not great.
But i must say i like the long range photo with the lights out, then the lights on.
