Daylight Savings time doesn't savee time nor does it save energy.
It's a political exercise that allows congress to say it did something
to conserve energy. Beyond the annoyance of resetting timekeepers the
only effect I can forsee is that children will now wait in total
darkness for the morning school bus.


There was some segments on, I think, NPR's Science Friday about daylight
savings time in the last year or three.

The real proponent is the retail industry. Who find that another hour of
daylight in the evening boosts sales. So what if kids get run over in the
early morning by bleary eyed commuters, go consume, consume, consume...
