Interview with with KTVU (local Fox of the Bay Area) about Daylight Saving Time and Energy Consumption - March10, 2007 broadcasted within the 6pm and the 10pm evening news
The myth of "more daylight" is firmly entrenched in the minds of politicians, the public, and business. DST does not lengthen the period of daylight - it shifts it one apparent hour later by the clock.
For me anyway, 7 : 30 am sunrises in march are weird!
Stop the time change madness! Ridiculous vestigal modern day waste of effort, we might as well maintain hitching posts in front of every bar. Keep only the summertime time.
(cont.) Legal Standard Time should be as close as possible to LMT (Local Mean Time) only, without this DST thing. If the Gov is not reasonable, individual people should be and, of their own, should boycott DST. From March to end October, instead of working 9 to 5, work 10 to 6 if DST is on. STOP THIS WORLDWIDE NONSENSE NOW!
LET'S ABOLISH DAYLIGHT SAVING (SUMMER) TIME! It's senseless, useless, unnatural, perverse, and bad for your health. It causes insomnia, prolongued stress, a sense of alieness and permanent jet-lag. It leads to drug abuse and alcoholism. One should live according to Solar time, not to the Gov's stupid whims. It doesn't save energy in Spring/Summer because you'll have to work and drive at the hottest hours with the air-conditioned on. Pollution increases so as ozone levels. (cont.)
So the federal government is full of shit.
In other news scientists report the sky is still blue.

It's purely a psychological benefit, it doesn't save energy. Congress doesn't need to super justify it.

As AnaKosta said a year ago, that type of saving energy never work than Earth Hour last March. I agree to her.
