I’d like to see hard numbers on the energy savings.

I'm sure someone could supply that for you, but I can confirm it from just personal use, in that from the electrical bill from light usage and from not having as many lights on for evening activities -- I got a lesser light bill, as a result.
My heat wasn't on electric, but natural gas, and so, during the extened time that was available for doing things (after getting off work) and not having to "light up the house" or the yard for any of the activities... we could do a lot of things, and not have to spend on the energy to do them.
The electric bill just about drops to nothing during the summer months when Daylight goes almost to 10 PM.
But, for figures for a "national work-up" of energy savings... I'm sure someone can come up with it.
