Changing the clocks is a minor pain twice a year.

Why not just stay on daylight time year round?

Or move clocks a half hour as a one time adjustment to split the difference, and then leave them there permanently?

I would be interested in any studies about energy use. The reason we now are on daylight time for almost 8 months of the year is because it is supposed to save energy. Anyone know if that’s really true?

I'm not fond of the 1/2 hour shift, but states on the edges of the boundaries might want to consider switching to a different time zone before fixing the clocks once and for all, based on the better hour for year-round purposes.
