Daylight Saving Time is the policy of setting our standard time forward one hour during the lighter periods of the year to produce more apparent daylight hours in the afternoon. It was put into policy in the U.S.A. in part due to our entrance into World War I as an energy cost saving measure. Since then its maintenance has been supported almost exclusively by special interest groups, and not the general public.
The many stated benefits of daylight saving are poorly realized and easily disputed, while the disadvantages are well documented. Daylight savings has no energy conservation advantage since the widespread use of air conditioning, is economically detrimental, is disruptive to personal health, and is an unnecessary complication.
