This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

PS I turned all my lights on so that airplanes wouldn't crash into the area. See I am civic minded.
hehe, I like that :)

On the other hand if they spend the advertising on this non-sense and organize river and lake shore clean-up (getting kids involved) I will help as much as I can.

PS: Same thing with the idiotic Green bin.

sad to see that we are one off the biggest country but the one that do almost the less for the enviroment.

Joco,
that's why they need to spent the money on real things instead saving the "un-savable" ( you can NOT store energy or tune down power plant for 1 hour )
All the money they spent advertising this BS should be spent advertising clean up and I guarantee there will be loads of people on the next cleaning the shore outing.

lieisfun actualy you can..if you are in a hydro power plan..you dont store energy, you store water..that how they bank water suply bu playing whit dams...water up in the dam is like $$ in the bank.

and tune down..on water turbine we do put them on spin NO load..they spin but dont produce...but water keep pasing that is a loss.

i still think its a good thing they did.that hour thing..sher other stuff can be done but this did not start here its a world thing..and actulay that hour is going big and bigger everyyear and it make people think about it.


there is mutch clean up on the clean up day on earth day and still not mutch people are going for them anyway sadly.

i just think we all profit frome the nature as fishermsn or camper etc..we should all think about it .

do it or dont..at least think about it. is a start.

OUTFORTROUT..sorry if its not realy fish related..but think about if we are not doing anything they wont be fish to be caught later on. :wink:

think green cant not be more about fishing then anything helse.

i finish wit that tread now. :lol:

joco...will talk about next year taugh. :lol:

How much watter you think they stored ?
I doubt that they even tried since one hour is probably not enough time and worth the effort to even do that since they have to be ready for the spike after you turn your lights and appliances on again.
