Yeah, I don't think that people will really offset anything.

They'll use their laptops on batteries, their PSP, iPod, and other battery using items.

Again, I think it's a feelgood measure to make people think they are actually doing something because they did it once a year for one measely hour.

If you want to do something, change your lifestyle dramatically, not just for 1 hour out of 8,760.

I'm not turning anything off. In fact I will be with some orthodox people who will just be starting to use things since 8pm is when Shabbos is officially over.
