I wonder how much havoc this change will wreak compared to what it saves.
Daylight savings only really works if people don't turn on the lights to
compensate for the shift and work by "natural light."  The problem is that
they mostly just turn on the lights.

Shifting sunlight patterns on highways one whole hour leads to lots of
serious accidents every time they make the shift.  We elected these ninnies,
too.  Want to save a boatload of energy?  Stop refereeing civil wars!  Give
more solar tax credits.  Instead, they choose to screw up all the clocks.
Yikes!
