It’s Daylight Saving Time Change

It’s that time of the year, the end of Daylight Saving Time when many Americans, from their perspective gain an hour of sleep. Sunday November 5, 2017, officially beginning at 2:00 a.m., you must set your clocks back by one hour or more precisely, from 2:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. if you are a state that participates in what many view as an antiquated notion known as Daylight Saving Time. A practice enacted by the United States of America as a way of ‘saving’ energy. This practice has been used in the U.S. and other countries since World War 1. Many changes to the policy have occurred, including op-out options by state, understandably making it all the more confusing for those forced to participate.
That confusion that arises during the Spring and Fall seasons when people are ask to alter time as it were, to suit the current policies of the day, have many asking, just ‘What Time Is It?’. Well, perhaps it’s time to take another look at the genesis, and the ‘History of Daylight Saving Time’ and decide if it’s time to abandon the theory of energy conservation, through what appears to be a very unpopular policy, by confronting and confirming the question ‘Does Daylight Saving Save Energy?‘ So, what exactly will it take to overturn this time-altering technique? As with many of our social freedoms, an ‘Act Of Congress’. That said, you may not want to hold your breathe.
Latest History of Daylight Saving Time
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub.L. 109–58) is a bill passed by the United States Congress on July 29, 2005, and signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 8, 2005, at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The act, described by proponents as an attempt to combat growing energy problems, changed US energy policy by providing tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various types.
