Congress to add 2 months to Daylight Savings Time
It looks like Daylight Saving Time is about to be extended, and that has child safety and fire prevention advocates riled.
Congressional leaders of both parties have signed off on a proposal, being considered in Washington this week, to start Daylight Saving Time on the first Sunday in March and end on the last Sunday of November. They say it would save energy. (more)

"It has child safety advocates riled..."
I saw one quote about kids walking in darkness to school. I thought most kids' schools started at 8 or later in the morning. It's light by 7 am usually isn't it?Rich

Mess up times to save half of one percent of our usage?
I think we need to stress standardized transportation and solar energy, first.

*shurg* I can't scream enough 'leave the clock alone'. Whenever the daylight saving come, my clock are untouchable. (not including my computer). Instead of having class at 8 am, I come to class at 9 am on time on my watch.
In Arizona, there are no daylight saving.

I think that this is a fantastic idea. An hour more of daylight for an extra month. I hate when it starts getting dark at 4pm.
