Daylight Saving - An Energy Saver?

Tuesday March 6, 2007
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. this Sunday, March 11, 2007. Moving your clocks forward happens three weeks earlier this year than in the past because of a new law signed on August 8, 2005 by President George W. Bush. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. so that the Departement of Energy can study the effects of the change on energy use in the US. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress who will decide if Daylight Savings will remain as is, or if it will revert back to April.
