Absolutely right. The father north, the more the day/night split is. Less reason for DST the farther south.

That's why the power should (and may) reside in the States, and not the federal government. You can run your state far more efficiently than I can. I can do better here than you can.

No one answer fits both States. Except getting the federal government out of it, except to standards setting (maybe). Limited to Art 1, Sec 8, anyway.
