Campy Posted April 7, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Adams Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 "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. Â Congress figured out how to give us more daylight?!?! Please, clue me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campy Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Congress figured out how to give us more daylight?!?! Please, clue me in. 298719[/snapback] I did a little searching and found that they shot down an ammendment to reduce America's oil consumption because 40% of our oil is used in vehicles and we couldn't possibly expect to burden Detroit with meeting improved mileage standards.

blzrul Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Congress figured out how to give us more daylight?!?! Please, clue me in. 298719[/snapback] The funny thing about that is in states where it gets hotter sooner, and stays hotter longer, it could mean you run the AC more.

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.
