I know you all heard about the gesture politics stunt known as
“Earth Hour” over the weekend, in which countless eco-activists around
the globe turned off their lights
and recreated the Dark Ages to help “raise awareness” of the
environment. Because, you know, there isn’t enough Awareness Raising
about it–what with radical environmentalism being crammed down your
kids’ throats and Al Gore everywhere and John McCain crusading against
global warming, etc., etc., etc. Anyway, as many of you noticed, Google
jumped on the bandwagon by turning its search page black.
The thing is, as tech bloggers have noted, it takes more energy to power black pages than white ones.
Yes, to raise awareness of the need to conserve energy, Google caused its users to use more energy than they normally would.
But hey: Google Cares.
Next up: Google apparently plans to help the enviros flood Capitol Hill with phone calls
Secular? Hardly. These people belong to a cult–a cult that fewer and fewer sane public officials are willing to fight.
For sanity, check Sen. Jim Inhofe’s blog.
He’s an endangered species.
