An hour without power. It won't be anything but a "feel good" gesture, but it might make people think a bit.

How many people will realize how dependent we are on electricity?? (much less take steps to remedy that)....

Most folks couldn't go a day without power, of that I am sure.

I am not grid dependent. I am hooked up to the grid, but I don't need it, at least not for a while.. But most folks are not as prepared as I am.

How about you?

ETA: Lawdog has a slightly different take on this.
