They're just using lines to join up the different points on the graph. This explains the dip after 18hr (6pm) to 19hr (7pm). I doubt that there was a gradual slow down in energy use between 6pm to 6:59pm, the hour leading up to Earth Hour. it does make sense if it really shows that compared to 6:00pm-6:59pm there was less energy used for the period betwen 7:00pm-7:59pm.<BR/><BR/>The oddest part is her wagging her finger over the fact that energy use increased between 7pm-9pm. Earth hour was between 7pm-8pm. This is like saying there was no Great Depression since the stock market increased between 1929-1946.sharonapple88https://www.blogger.com/profile/11149226422042041129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-62394133684081792182008-03-30T12:43:00.000-04:002008-03-30T12:43:00.000-04:00Oh God, that was awful.
