Daylight Saving Time

TAGS: None

We have now entered into the time of year known as Daylight Saving Time.

Contrary to popular opinion, no daylight is saved. No matter how we fiddle with our clocks we will have the same amount of sun per day.

Some folks thinks it saves energy. This NIST web page explains the history. I see a lot of hand waving but little in the way of proof for all the supposed savings. All I know is I don’t like an hour of my sleep rudely wrested from me. Next thing you know, they’ll want us to adopt the metric system.
