Last night, NBC's "Football Night in America" started the NBC-Universal enviro-wacko week by shutting off the in-studio lights for the tail-end of the pre-game show and then the halftime and post-game shows around the Dallas-Philadelphia football game played in Philly. The network wanted to show how energy conscious and enviro-friendly they could be by shutting off the studio lights, which was "enough power to fully light a normal-sized family home for a month."
Hey - here's an idea - leave the studio lights on, and PLAY THE GAME DURING THE SUNLIT DAY. Car headlights, studios, press boxes, and luxury boxes all could be partially-lit at best. Oh, and yeah...you could SHUT OFF THE MEGA-BANKS OF STADIUM LIGHTING at Liberty Financial Field in Philly.
How much energy could that have saved?
Oh, but wait - that would've required NBC to forfeit the millions of prime-time ad dollars they received by running the game on a Sunday night...no, now that can't happen, can it?
Don't even get me started on the impartiality of the week's "educational programming"...
