Lights Out LA?

Today I talked with LA County Supervisor Yvonne B. Burke and LA Weekly reporter Sophia Kercher about the Lights Out LA initiative. To increase awareness of the need to conserve energy, Burke asked LA residents to turn off non-essential lights for an hour on October 20th, an idea modeled after a successful Australian event held last year. But was it a success?
