"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.
But, daylight savings time doesn't actually add daylight. Maybe we should just get up earlier or go to bed later. Maybe, if we really need to conserve resources, those resources will be more expensive during nighttime hours? Of course, these mental giants forget that open businesses use lots and lots of energy during those daylight hours.
I need to buy an island. We'll never have to reset our watches.
