The BBC was planning a similar event in the UK but decided not to go through with it since the pwergrid would probably collapse when everybody switched on again.

The crunch issue with the big switch-off idea, [the National Grid] suggests, is that nobody would be able to estimate how many people would take part. Estimate too few and loss of supply could follow. Too many and unnecessary energy could be wasted.

"Saying we want to switch off everything now is not going to be sustainable and is very, very unpredictable. You would create far more carbon [emission] than what you would actually save."
