Tired of the DST Change? Ya, me too.

You know when this new DST change has gone too far when your building management sends out a memo reminding you to upgrade your systems and patch your applications.

I came across an interesting paper this evening. Found at the bottom on this site http://www.energy.ca.gov/daylightsaving.html

Dr. Adrienne Kandal, with the California Energy Commission's Demand Analysis Office, has written a paper titled Electricity Savings From Early Daylight Saving Time, Commission publication # CEC-200-2007-001. She concluded that, "There is no clear evidence that electricity will be saved from the earlier start to daylight saving time on March 11, 2007..."

Check out the entire report.

Ross Brown:

This change had nothing to do with power savings; it was pushed by the US Commerce Dept. to grow revenue for recreational and entertainment business. For example, the US Golf industry expects an incremental $200m in greens fees, equipment and apparel sales as a result of the change.

As always, follow the money.
