Since AZ doesn’t change our time, we are the same as PST right now.

EST is 3 hours ahead of us.

Texas would be 2 hours ahead of us.

We need to get rid of this, paging President Trump.

“Nixon’s Daylight Savings Time Still Controversial After 44 Years”

FTA:The most important analysis regarding the effectiveness of DST regarding energy use is a 2008 National Bureau of Economic Research study that found “contrary to the policy’s intent — DST increases residential electricity demand” by about 1 percent. Although DST reduced demand for lighting, demand for heating and cooling dramatically increased.

Many health and safety experts also have a negative opinion of Daylight Savings Time. According to the “Fatal Accident Reporting System,” there is a 17 percent increase in traffic fatalities on the Monday after the shift and fatal motor vehicle accidents remained elevated for the first six days after the clocks spring ahead. A recent medical study indicates that DST time change may also increase the risk of stroke due to sleep disturbances.
