Daylight Savings Time Now Longer
Legislators made negotiations on an energy bill that will ultimately lengthen daylight savings time by four weeks. It would now start three weeks earlier and end one week later, thus resulting in DST starting on the second Sunday in March and ending on the first Sunday in November.
Proponents argue that this would help conserve energy and help decrease oil usage during those months. Opponents argue that the energy savings is uncertain, and that altering the DST can cause problems both with international flights and with livestock.
We here at 53 don't particularly care one way or the other regarding DST, but it does seem like an interesting thing to change. Time really is relative.
