daylight savings extension

I love daylight savings time, except that I find it hard to get to work on time. :p But did you know that the last extension of daylight savings time was passed mainly because of lobbying by various companies which would benefit from it. These included theme parks and other businesses which depend on the tourists.Congress is now considering extending daylight savings time by two additional months. According to CNN, Rep Ed Markey, D-Mass, says: "'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."Um, is he saying we are creating more daylight by extending daylight savings time? Well, that's just silly. They would just shifting which hours the daylight occurs in. Instead of burning electricity in the evening, people will burn it by turning on lights to get ready for work/school in the morning.http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/04/07/daylight.saving.ap/index.html
