Ah HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  The balefully boneheaded bureaucrats in the Phoenix city government are actually signing on to this idiotic, pointless leftwing propaganda exercise?

First we see Mayor Gordon sucking up to illegal aliens, and now this idiocy.  When are the people of Phoenix going to send Flash Gordon and his den of thieves packing???

Phoenix to join world cities in hourlong "lights out" effort

SYDNEY, Australia (AP)  --  Workers in Phoenix will turn out the lights in all downtown city-owned buildings for one hour Saturday night, and officials and hope the city's residents will do the same.
  
The nation's fifth-largest city is among more than two dozen across the world participating in Earth Hour, an international effort to promote conservation and awareness of climate change. Phoenix is the flagship city for the Mountain time zone.
  
The World Wildlife Fund is promoting the event and hopes it makes people more aware of their impact on the environment, not just for the appointed hour between 8-9 p.m. but all the time.
  
Turning off the lights for an hour sounds easy, but organizers say it's tricky when dealing with tall buildings, ballparks and convention centers.
  
The shutdown began in Sydney with the Australian city's Opera House and Harbour Bridge going dark.
  
World Wildlife Fund spokeswoman Leslie Aun calls it a logistical challenge, especially because large parts of the major electrical systems aren't designed to be shut down.
