DST in Indiana would not be so bad if we were Central Time.
What is “bad” about DST? Have you ever lived on the eastern side of Central time? I have. In December it starts to get dark at 3:30p.
DST is great on eastern time. 9:30 sunsets? Sign me up. And nobody wants the sun to have set already when they get off work in the winter…
It’s not complicated. When the sun is over head, it’s midday. Not 11.00am, not 1.00pm – midday. Why do we mess with nature?
Just lock the clock. We’ll figure it out, schedules will adjust as necessary, but we absolutely don’t need the government telling us to change our clocks.
So what I get from this article, is that if there is an energy savings or cost, it is so minor that nobody has been able to consistently measure it. So, if you’re doing DST for energy savings, that’s not the reason.
I could go for year round DST, if somebody told me it’s good for business, or wellbeing because it will be light in the evening longer when you get home from work.
While it’s important to keep kid’s safety in mind families with school age kids account for less than 10% of the Indiana population, and of those getting on the bus at 7:00am in most school systems are high schoolers that should be able sitting in the dark and that group is less than 1/3 of 10%. Plus if you think safety is the primary concerns, there are other things that pose much higher risks for kids, and you should spend your energy lobbying for better traffic enforcement, slower speed limits, and safer road designs. By and far the the leading cause of death for children is by dying while in a car in an auto collision.
While the data on energy use is not conclusive, the data on the health effects is very solid. We see more heart attacks and strokes in the week following the spring adjustment and an increase in mental health disorders in both the spring and fall due to a neurobiological phenomenon called circadian desynchronization. Adopting daylight savings time is simply not good for people.
You are conflating daylight savings time itself with the switches to and from daylight savings time. Keep DST, stop switching back and forth.
If we adopt year round DST, won’t that be an extra hour each day for our many solar panels to contribute power to the grid?
I don’t believe solar panels care what time it is. They collect the suns energy when the sun is out, regardless of time.
There is NO more daylight, just shifts it to morning or evening!
Bottom line: energy savings is a ruse. Energy reduction is at best minuscule and therefore does not soundly support a change. Why not just let the nation vote as representatives in the House and Senate are not trustworthy regarding the interests of constituents and could be greatly influenced from lobbyists, campaign contributors, and other third parties. Just choose a time a stop the ridiculous spring forward/fall back foolishness — or just compromise on the half-hour.
