Actually, the US did do a yearlong* Daylight Savings time experiment back in the days of the Oil Shocks, I think in 1975. It was a disaster for all involved because people sure as hell didn't like sending their 7 year olds walking to school in the dark, nor did they like seeing the sun rise past 8:00am, nor were we thrilled when it set around 9:00pm.
*Or maybe just an extended DST. |
In the US these are good arguments, but go to the UK and this stuff happens even with DST. I'd like to see DST kept, and changed to a 2hr jump (staggered if needs be). Seeing the sun rise at 4:30am is a complete waste. There is no need for the sun to rise before 6am IMHO. The later it sets the better.
