Campy Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I can't say I'm opposed to extending DST, but I'd be pretty curious to see what else is getting lumped into that energy legislation.

Alaska Darin Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 I'm against it. Think of all the fugly people who are counting on darkness to assist them in their quest for love.

aussiew Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Gotta agree with AD on this one - sunlight is the ultimate exposer.

John Adams Posted April 7, 2005 Posted April 7, 2005 Quote "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use," said Markey, who cited Transportation Department estimates that showed the two-month extension would save the equivalent of 10,000 barrels of oil a day. Congress figured out how to give us more daylight?!?! Please, clue me in.

Here in Va Bch it's not uncommon for summertime temps to remain in the 80s all night and the AC will run regardless of what time the clock on the wall shows. When it's hot, it's hot.
