why do move the time by 1hr in winter and summer?

Answer 1

This was done in an effort for people to use less electricity. The idea is that people will not turn on lights if the sun is up and will therefore use less electricity. In addition people will spend more time outside shopping, dining out, or whatever else and this will have a positive economic impact. Unlike what is commonly accepted, this has nothing to do with farmers.

Answer 2

As you know daylight savings time came early this year because the US Congress thought it might be a nifty way to save energy. They also considered another idea that was not talked about very much. It sprang out of the idea that if we can save energy by moving the clock back an hour that we might be able to save even more energy if we moved the clock back a whole lot more.

This thinking was based upon the fact that we use energy in the winter by heating and use energy in the summer by cooling. Obviously, we would use less energy if the winters were warmer and summers were cooler, right? So, the idea was to move the clock back not just one hour but 4,380 hours. This would place our former summer in the cool months of the year and our former winter in the warm months of the year thus saving a whole lot of energy.

Sadly, the idea was abandoned when someone pointed out that winding the clocks back 4,380 hours would cause a lot of wrist problems and golf scores to climb.

And now you know the rest of the story behind Congresses' silliness.
