Saving Daylight: Unclear on the Concept
The AP says that Congress may extend daylight-saving time by two months in an attempt to save energy.
The quote that has me puzzled: "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use." - Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., co-sponsor of the measure
By the way, this would apparently provide a whole 0.05% energy savings. But hey, at least Congress is starting talk positively about saving energy again, for the first time in thirty years.
Update: They're questioning this over at Daily Kos too.
