If they do it, they'll be S O R R Y!!
I loathe, hate and detest DST. I grew up on a farm and it meant getting up in the pitch black to feed stock and going to bed in daylight, as we hit the sack early on the farm. These days it means getting up at 3am if I want to get good sunrise photos, and staying up real late if I want to shoot a sunset.
And I firmly believe it contributes to excessive use of power because, in relative terms, it moves the hottest part of the day closer to when people are home after work and they run their individual home air conditioners for a longer period than would be the case. For example, if you leave work at 5pm in DST, it is really 4pm, so when you get home it is still pretty hot so on goes the air con, and it usually then stays on. If you got home an hour later, you just might open some windows and see if there is a cool breeze.
I am also always tired for the whole time, it throws my body clock all awry. I read a medical study that provided examples that seem to point tot he fact it is not good for us health wise to fool around with our body clocks like this.
It should be banned!
