Al Gore Wants to Kill People on Life Support!!

As part of this summer's hypocritical concert, Live Earth, Al Gore had wanted all viewers to switch off their lights at the same time. Great Britain's National Grid pulled the plug on the idea:

[T]he power surge when people switched their lights back on could cause disruptions in supply and even endanger hospital patients on life support machines.

If the artist are truly concerned about energy use, shouldn't they be playing on acoustic instruments? They probably shouldn't broadcast the event either, that only encourages people to burn electricity when they turn on their televisions, radios, and internets.
