U.S. Government officials in D.C. will soon either freeze, sweat or practice Earth Hour

A site called Clean Technica brings us this piece of news:

Government agencies in Washington, D.C. will soon be powered 100% by renewable energy, according to a recent press release. Wind energy, provided by a Washington Gas Energy Services owned wind farm in Northern Virginia, will provide all of the electricity needs for the district’s government agencies

If this is true, there will be a lot of extremely cold or alternatively hot days in the numerous D.C. government offices, because when the wind does not blow in Northern Virginia, the poor government bureaucrats will have to manage either without heating or air conditioning. 

People working in buildings which possibly use oil, gas or coal for heating and air conditioning, will have many opportunities to practice Earth Hour activities, because there will be no lights on days without North Virginian wind. 

The "sequester" hits the White House

Things are beginning to look serious in Washington D.C.: 

In the latest dire warning about the effects of automatic government spending cuts known as the "sequester," an Obama administration official said on Wednesday that not even the White House's own operations will be spared.

"The Executive Office of the President is subject to the sequester, and we anticipate significant disruption to our operations and mission, which could include furloughs," said the official, who did not provide further details.

There is already some speculation that the "sequester" could e.g. stop Obama from using the White House teleprompter. 
Finally, a chance to meet the real Obama!
