Alright so last night at 11PM , I'm sitting on the couch watching the National News and the topic of daylight savings time comes up . Apparently people in the US government are thinking about adding 2 months more of Day Light Savings Time.(DLST)
Their reasoning for this , is that less energy ( fuels) will be consummed . The plan is to start DLST in March and have it end in November . You'd have an extra hour of light at night , but it would be dark in the mornings for an extra hour . The problem with this , is that other countries will need to change their DLST also ... if not things such as flights will be screwed up , border openings , stock exchanges , etc .
What do you think about this ???
