Seriously. A 3-year study showed that a 2006 time zone change in Indiana (US) saved energy (resulting in saved money and a cleaner environment than otherwise) by eliminating Daylight Savings Time: http://www.physorg.com/news187946326.html?xid=rss-fullcontent If Obama had followed the advice of the study, he would have eliminated Daylight Savings Time in the US, and the rest of the world would likely have followed suit. [edit: and as a result, BK would not have to figure out which locality changes its clocks, and which ones never change their clocks] Everything is Obama's fault, unless it is Bush's fault. or both of them. People, please don't turn this into a political thread. I only point it out in the hopes that *someone important* somewhere might read this and help to eliminate Daylight Savings Time, which is bad for the environment. 3. dobna 2012, 20:40:53 O čem je toďten plk: Re:  happyjuggler0: Interesting, you'd think it'd be a wash. 3. dobna 2012, 20:50:27 O čem je toďten plk: Re:  happyjuggler0: Wouldn't Americans then be one our off on this site for 6 months per year rather than 2 weeks?  3. dobna 2012, 20:55:25 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Roberto Silva: Not if everyone followed Obama's leadership!  Seriously though, if the US eliminated DST because of a careful academic study, then everyone else would surely either eliminate it too, or at least conduct a similar experiment in their own country. Anyway, all it would take is for the Czechs to also eliminate DST, and then thisbeme would need another scapegoat for why he times out. Note to whom it may concern, if you find yourself timing out a lot, it is your own fault, not BK's. The occasional timeout may *perhaps* not be your fault, but habitual timeouts certainly are your own fault. 3. dobna 2012, 22:02:04 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Daylight saving time Přetvořeny oževatelem El Cid (3. dobna 2012, 22:37:52)  happyjuggler0: Actually, in 1990s there was a year in Portugal when we didn't change the hour in one of the clock changes, to have the same hour as the rest of the Europe if I0m not mistaken (maybe Roberto remembers it better than me), I think it caused several problems like everyone going to work still with dark night.and in the Summer we had daylight until almost 10pm (when the "normal" is a sunset at 9pm or 9.15pm. Whatever was the case, it was a single year, so... we had that "study" and it didn't work... 3. dobna 2012, 22:48:44 O čem je toďten plk: Re: Daylight saving time El Cid: It is worth pointing out that in the study I referred to, that before Indiana changed the rules, a few counties in Indiana didn't have DST while others did. Therefore when they changed the rules they could measure the changed energy output in the affected counties while also having a control group. It is the control group which is the key that makes it convincing. 3. dobna 2012, 21:13:55 O čem je toďten plk: Re: happyjuggler0: Obama's fault. Funny! ;-) In my case, though, I still think it's Fencer's fault because although he actually implements DST for the US pretty well, I live in Hawaii, which is one of the two states that doesn't observe DST and Fencer hasn't taken that into account in his programming. |
