Energy Spending Time (EST)

Golden Bear (Berkeley) researchers are telling us that Daylight Savings Time, the Congressionally mandated "energy saving" measure, is likely not saving much energy. I'm no Cal fan, but their research, as explained by an ABC News article, "raises concern that the U.S. is unlikely to see the anticipated energy conservation benefits from extending DST." Krishna Dagli of Hemos, via Slashdot, adds, "We are already spending money for software upgrades in the name of saving energy and after reading following article I wonder has congress really studied the impact of DST shift?"

You'll recall that the Great State of Arizona does not participate in the biannual time adjustment, a.k.a. Policy of Anti-Arizonan Agression (NAMBLA). Kudos Grand Canyonites.
