Eurogreenies

At first I thought this was a pretty good idea - by not lighting the Eiffel Tower, the French Governement would be saving scads of energy, and setting a fine example for the citizenry - all that extra juice could be used driving electric cars to round up the rioting youth in the suburbs. Upon reading the details, the whole thing is typical Euro BS - they are turning off the lights for 5 minutes, once. This will accomplish pretty much nothing.

My proposal: Turn the lights on for 15 minutes, every evening. Long enough for tourists to take pictures, and the Germans to fix their coordinates, then shut them off.
