Daylight

I know that pretty soon here we are going to need to change our clocks to fall behind for the winter. I did some research and found out that our time change schedule was changed in 2005 due to an energy act that said that we would save 10,000 gallons of oil a day just for making this change because businesses have more daylight and use less electricity.

At 2 a.m. on November 2, 2008, groggy Americans will turn their clocks back one hour, marking the end of daylight savings time for 2008.

In Aug. 2005, Congress passed an energy bill that included extending Daylight Saving Time by about a month. As of 2007, DST starts the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November.
