      Daylight Savings Time (Again)

      by Andrew McCaskey
      This is the sort of story that probably appeals only to midwesteners – but finally there is a formal study that puts to death the claim – since Benjamin Franklin – that Daylight Savings time saves energy.

      Indiana spent the last forth years in contrarian glory remaining on Standard Time year-round along with Arizona and Hawaii. Make that most in Indiana, with counties near Cincinatti and Chicago changing with their Metro area.

      That key finding provided up to date comparison data used in the finding, when Indiana went to Daylight time two years ago. The motivation was economic development, not energy.

      Having lived in the state for 20 years but working for California companies I was very glad to have uniform and consistent time.

      At least I did not think we were saving either money or daylight.
