This notion that it saves electricity? It's a load.

Perhaps it made sense when America was more rural -- though the DST notion was tried after World War I, and soundly rejected. But we're city people for the most part. Do our so-called leaders think we only turn on lights and A/C when the sun goes down? ("It's almost sunset, Martha. Fire up the floor lamp!") The increased sunlight pounding down on our homes means we use more power, not less! The people in Arizona didn't fall for this idea. They know they don't need more sunlight.

The way to do it, if you had to, would be to do it in winter. That way you'd have more light in the afternoon, and even a little bit of sun in January would help with the heating. But noooo --!
