Live Earth UK - the lights stay on!

There had been plans to get everyone to turn of their lights and other power sources as part of the July 7 Live Earth Concert in the UK. The concert is designed to raise awareness of global warming and the organisers thought that this would be a way to send a symbolic message to the powers that be about peoples concerns about Global Warming. The organisers are having to rethink their plans though because the National Grid have insisted that when everyone turns the power back on there will be a risk of a power surge that would fry the national grid and cause problems in hospitals and other sensitive areas. back to the drawing board for the organisers on this one.
