Ok Daylight Saving Time conserves energy right.


Do this


Move clock up one hour permanently.


Then, during traditional Daylight Savings Time

Move it up an additonal hour.

Would be awesome having daylight till past 10:00 pm in the summer





Yeah, we'd lose one hour in history, but it isn't like
the calender hasn't been affected before

Oh yeah, and if you want daylight past 10pm just move up to Alaska...

what would be so bad about coordinating
human activity more closely to daylight hours?


That would save tons of enrgy in light costs alone
 
It conserves energy? It gets dark here at 5pm during the early to mid portion of DST. So I'd have to turn my lights on sooner.

Aren't they getting rid of it anyway?

Isnt it already pretty conducive to that?

 
If you shift the timeline so that the sun "sets" later, you're also making it so the sun "rises" later. You're actually not increasing the hours of functional daylight at all. In most parts of the world, the sun is never up for as long as people are active during the day. The far north, such as my beloved Alaska, and the far south are the only places where this can change, and in places such as these Daylight savings is as useless as tits on a boar anyway.

Good luck on that patent btw...
