I propose the removal of the Daylight Savings Time (DST) as a way to decrease energy usage and a way to combat climate change. Extra daylight results in higher demand for electricity for air conditioning. Extra daylight results in higher demand for gasoline due to longer driving trips. According to several websites, DST originally was a way for countries to save energy; however, peoples habits have changed and now it has the opposite effect. It is time we fix time.
