 The idea of extending DST to save energy doesn't make a lot of sense to me. This week our neighbour's daughter will be catching her school bus in the dark. The family will have lights on in the house to be able to walk around. Next week it will be light out when she catches the bus. They will need lighting later in the morning for a while and then they will be using the lights in the late afternoon. There is nothing saved.
 

It is daylight SAVING time.  I save it all summer for a couple of years and withdraw as needed.  I have about 100 hours to use this winter.
It should really be called Daylight SHIFTING time.
