Abolish Daylight Saving time.

Created by D.M. on August 13, 2015

Daylight saving time is an archaic concept that many other countries have already abolished. Introduced during WWI as a fuel saving measure by Germany, however, energy consumption today is much more complicated. When Indian adopted DST in 2006, data shows it actually lead to a 1% overall rise in residential electricity. Additionally, studies show an increase of car accidents and work related injuries the week after the time change. There is no discernible benefit to anyone.
