fall back

Well, we all woke this morning to a new time. I can never remember if we are on Daylight Saving Time now or did we just leave it…?

I think what is more important to know, however, is that by saving daylight we are wasting energy.

There have been many studies about the actual necessity of this biannual event, but the most telling was reported in the Wall Street Journal.

So the study began with Indiana counties inconsistent on the application of the time change. Then they all did. And then they discovered this:
Having the entire state switch to daylight-saving time each year, rather than stay on standard time, costs Indiana households an additional $8.6 million in electricity bills. They conclude that the reduced cost of lighting in afternoons during daylight-saving time is more than offset by the higher air-conditioning costs on hot afternoons and increased heating costs on cool mornings.
