Its 4 weeks early I think and the reason they say is energy conservation. They are supposed to report in October on whether it really had any effect.

There is no scientific reason. DST was originally an attempt to save energy during the '70s. The idea was to shift the work day with the seasons to maximize daylight hours in the workplace. It's one of those things that works better on paper than in reality. You government at work.

Some idiot politician wanted to feel powerful by changing what was already working fine. They think they are going to save energy by doing it early but I think we spent more wasted time and money by changing it. Now every freeking computer and clock has to be reprogrammed. Good job morons in Washington !

It was our govenment's bright idea. They had nothing better to do last year- so they decided it would make them look "busy" if they spent a few weeks debating & then passing a law that added a few extra weeks on to Daylight Savings Time this year. That's our tax dollars at work for you! :)

they say it's for energy reasons. but really it's just Bush's usual batch of b.s. we'll see if it worked or not.. though if we really wanted to fix our energy crisis.. start mandating the use of green energy for the entire country and enforce it. the resources are there.. we've but to use them
