I wonder how much percentage of energy we'd save it all gov't buildings had to be solar and windpowered and all gov't vehicles had to be fuel cell by 2007? I bet more than .25 or even 1%.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/The 'safer cars' comment is well made but the probkem is that whiloe cars today are generally safer then ever, the safety is for the driver and passengers (ie the people in the car) and not for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. There's also a strong suggestion that safer cars are outweighted by the increased wrecklessness from the drivers - ie if you think you are safe you take more risks and thus are more likely to have an argument.
The only 'answer' is public transport, higher fuel costs and more expensive cars!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/
I believe the term you want is "reckless" as in "careless."]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/
I think DST is great! We have longer days in the summer so why not push an hour of the daylight to the evening when most of us can use it instead of leaving it in the morning when most of us are still asleep.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Like I said earlier, the annual debate in the UK about not putting clocks back in the winter is soon ended when road traffic accident statistics are taken into consideration, and the thoughts of millions of early morning workers as well. Plus the Scots.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/
When I say "most of us" I am referring to the majority of people that are going to work and school in the daytime. There is no such thing as the "real most of us" by excluding people from the majority based on how much money they make.

Sure a lot of people have to work evenings or nights...but majority of people do not...and that is why there is an energy savings benefit with DST.

Not everyone conforms to the 9 to 5 schedule. Not only that, but it screws with my head when its still daylight at 10pm... So just leave my clock alone! Don't these people have a budget to balance, and a war to worry about?!?!]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/08/time-shifting-daylight-saving-time-to-wreak-gadget-havoc/Dec 19th 2005 1:02AM
