Energy Bill Lengthens Daylight Saving Time by 2 Months
CNN reports that a new energy bill in Congress includes an extension of daylight savings time to begin on the first Sunday in March and end on the last Sunday in November.
As one Congressmen states:
"The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use"I think he may have forgotten that although we gain an hour in the evening, we lose an hour in the morning. Unfortunately, mankind does not have the power to change the Earth's rotation to optimize daylight....
In my opinion, daylight savings time does nothing to save energy. This article also makes this point. It may be good if you like to do things outside in the evenings. But that's about it.
Also on a side note, Greg Graffin, the lead singer of Punk band Bad Religion is as a PHD in Religion and Philosophy and has a Master of Science in evolutionary biology. So the academic world is changing as well.
