The net energy savings are close to zero, because more energy will be used to combat morning darkness. Schoolchildren in the western parts of time zones will be standing in the dark waiting for school buses. Computer operating systems and many programs needed patches to adapt, and the patches that Microsoft sent for Office introduced errors into my appointment calendar. I set my VCR to the correct time, and I had to turn the automatic DST feature off, or else the unit will jump ahead another hour at the old start date, and jump back an hour too soon in the fall. This we get from those idiots in Congress who can't extricate us from Iraq. The change is stupid.
