When the Lights Went Out in SF

Following up on my Lights Out San Francisco entry, I found a nice picture of the city on the organization’s blog, including this one:
The effort was supported by many residents, local businesses and government including the Speaker of the House and the Governor. Between 8 to 9pm last Saturday night, supporters turned off all unnecessary lights to raise awareness for climate change and energy conservation. Even Google pitched in and displayed a “dark” screen for Bay Area users to show its support*.

*However, note that Google does not support the notion that a dark background is less energy consuming than its current white one.
