Has Anyone Heard That Some 28 U.S. Cities Plan To %26quot;Turn Off The Power%26quot; For An Hour On 2/29/08????? I just heard from a friend at work that last night on the news here in Chicago he saw that we plan to cut the power on Feb. 29th for an hour. I guess its to reduce emmisions for the day or something, who knows. I just wanna know if anyone has heard the same thing. I personally, dont believe that the US would be that stupid. BUT if it is true I wanna be ready because I am gonna be going shopping if they do. Also, if you know of any website that confirm this, let me know.

I hope it%26#039;s not Miami I keep my AC on freezing and I hate the heat!

It%26#039;d be a great way to increase the city%26#039;s population...New York City had a record number of births 9 months after a recent blackout...

I find that pretty implausible. The legal suits would bankrupt the city that did so.

Does the city know where every person on a ventilator or other life support system relying on electricity lives? Nah, I didn%26#039;t think so.
