Arizona stays on standard time year round. Don’t know about any other states.

But does it really save energy, as that was a key reason to do this????

I thought it had something to do with farming or harvest.

Now I don’t to readjust myself for weeks trying to get used to daylights saving time. I really prefer the way we have it in AZ, the only thing is, I have to recalculate what timezone we are in when the change does happen for the rest of the US.

Hawaii also does not have daylight savings time and and it was a bummer when I left for CA and had to recalibrate ( actually for a lot of things.)

I doubt it. You use more electricity in the winter, and more air conditioning in the summer in hotter climates.

Arizona often has 110°+ days in the summer. They don't want the extra hour of sunlight after work. They would rather have an earlier sunset so they can enjoy cooler temperatures in the evening.
