People can try to blame farmers all they want, but it is their elected representatives who hold sway in this case.

Retailers of outdoor sports are chief among those who lobbied for the extra hour in the evening, along with numerous 3 letter agencies with the Dept of Energy chief amongst them. Outdoor retailers of sports equipment showed greatly increased sales during DST.

As is usual, its all about the money.

The DOE said it would save on lighting costs, about 4% of total US energy cost. And with later studies it was shown to be a wash. What it saved in the morning slipped to the evening side.

It was due to a lack of energy plan. After all, who wants more power plants despite an increase in population and housing.

Thanks for nothing Jimmy.

I don't really care one way or the other. I just wish they would pick one and leave it alone. Such is not the way of Congress though, they seem to think they have to control everything whether they should or not. I just wish they could pass a test on the Constitution. Wouldn't that be something?
