What is this nonsense about moving Daylight Savings Time around? We'll still get the same number of hours of daylight - that's never going to change - but now we'll be getting up in the DARK again. Who needs that? And how does it save energy? People have to turn on lights in the morning instead of the evening - same lights, same energy use. And they'll likely use more gas, as they head out in the evening to do some retail shopping.
