I agree. Hospitals have some who-yo-daddy generators that will keep everything powered. And even if you jacked the plug from a life support machinery it should have enough juice for an hour or so.

However it is in California which is just a fucked up political system. Even if it was true I'm sure Pelosi would say it was for the "common good" and that it's better since they are dead and no longer farting and killing the ozone.

No suprise Al Gore didn't turn his shit off. If not for global warming he'd be living in a gutter.

I was working Saturday night and did my little part by shutting half the lights down in the ER. I work with a bunch of older nurses that complain about not being able to see in normal lighting conditions, they need it exceptionally glaring bright at all hours of the night/morning. There's no windows in our ER. It's like being in a war bunker. I can't handle the lights at 3-4 in the morning and always turn any non essential lights off when I can.

We waste a lot of power in our hospital and we are in a 7 million dollar deficit that they are trying to curve by decreasing elective surgeries for a month or 2. If people just shut off lights in lunch rooms, offices, hallways that don't need the over head lights on, misc tv's, etc... It's not even an issue of security b/c there's 6 light switches in a four feet radius of our institution. It's just waste.

And I have to call BS on that story. We have emergency generators that kick in the minute there is a slight blip in power. If care facilities are shutting down power to vents/operating rooms than I'll gladly pay my taxes for socialized health care where we don't kill people and charge them $$$ for it
It's good you're trying to save electricity but it takes the equivalent of one hour of run time to start a fluorescent bulb.
