>>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.

I could be wrong but I think DST was invented by Ben Franklin.

It was first tried In 1918 to conserve energy and lasted seven months and was defeated, no one liked it , and tried again under Roosevelt again no one liked it, from what I heard the farmers hated it.

It was supposed to save energy which is just a big farce.

This last go around started in about 1974, since then the little Hitler`s have kept most of the states in line.
