This would be sweet if this got passed. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-04-07-daylight-saving_x.htm Lawmakers push to extend daylight-saving time WASHINGTON (AP) — If Congress passes an energy bill, Americans may see more daylight-saving time. Lawmakers crafting energy legislation approved an amendment Wednesday to extend daylight-saving time by two months, having it start on the last Sunday in March and end on the last Sunday in November. "Extending daylight-saving time makes sense, especially with skyrocketing energy costs," said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., who along with Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., co-sponsored the measure. The amendment was approved by the House Energy and Commerce Committee that is putting together major parts of energy legislation likely to come up for a vote in the full House in the coming weeks. "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use," said Markey, who cited Transportation Department estimates that showed the two-month extension would save the equivalent of 10,000 barrels of oil a day. The country uses about 20 million barrels of oil a day.
Works for me I love it to stay dark longer in the mourning.. Less heat to deal with durring the jog..
My Grandma is going to be pissed. She wakes up at 4am and goes to sleep around 7pm. She will wake up when it's dark and go to bed when it is light outside.
