[Shotimes] OT: Daylight Savings

[Paul L Fisher]

Saying we have more daylight is a little misleading. We have more daylight
when the majority of the people are awake.

Here's a article:

http://www.energy.ca.gov/daylightsaving.html

We move forward to save energy because there is more light in the summer
months.  So by moving forward, we have more daylight.  During winter, when
there is a shorter day, we fall back because that gives us more daylight in
the evening.  If we didn't fall back, it would get dark at 3 in the
afternoon instead of 5.  During the summer, if we didn't spring forward, it
would get dark at 7 or 8 instead of 9.  We save energy and have more
daylight.  I base this on where I live in Florida, but that's the logic.
I read an article that America saves 250 billion dollars a year in energy
costs because of this, that figure could be wrong, but I know it's a ton o'
money.

We don't lose daylight either way, we gain.
