Here's how the new Daylight Savings Plan will work but who will ever know if we save 100,000 barrels of oil daily for those 30 added days. That's a total of 3 million barrels. Too many moving parts to do any valid calculation after the change is effective.
"Under the bill, Americans in the 48 states that currently observe daylight-saving time (Arizona and Hawaii don't) would move their clocks ahead by an hour starting on the second Sunday of March, rather than the first Sunday of April. They would set clocks back an hour on the first Sunday of November, rather than the last Sunday of October. The changes would take effect beginning one year after the law's enactment or March 1, 2007, whichever date comes later.
The four-week extension could save the equivalent of 100,000 barrels of oil per day in energy use, the House Energy and Commerce committee claims."
