Does DST Save Energy? Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Indiana (2008) (nber.org) 19 points by monort 10y ago ↗ HN
[–] daveguy 10y ago ↗ Sold. So next summer we just ignore the switch to DST? Or next fall we ignore the switch back to standard time? [–] douche 10y ago ↗ Let's stay on DST instead of rolling the clocks back. It was pitch black outside by 4:30 today, and there's another four weeks to go until the solstice. I like to have some chance of seeing the sun in the winter. [–] vook 10y ago ↗ I completely agree. I'd rather spring forward two hours myself – then I could wake up at the crack of dawn at 10am. [–] Natanael_L 10y ago ↗ Why? Just drop DST and adjust the schedules. [–] cbd1984 10y ago ↗ I say we stay on DST, then apply DST again and stay on it, then apply DST again and stay on the result, and so on.Think of all the energy we'll save!
