This is just a little continuation of yesterdays post. Today Google U.S went black as well in a effort to promote “Go Green”.

In reality it’s a good “idea” but in concept it’s not that great. From what I understand most of our energy comes from coal plants. Now I believe the plan was to get everyone to turn off their power for an hour.
