      DST just doesn't make much sense to me. We have the ability to light entire stadiums at night as if it were day, so why are we still bothering with this practice?

      It was about saving power - not using it.

      It's definitely a dated idea considering how we've changed our work from 100 years ago.

        @Dashrender Again we can light entire stadiums with LED's, super efficient lighting source.

        It's not my issue if the stadiums are to cheap to perform the cut over.

          Yes, but it made no sense at first, either. It never saved power... if that were true they would have shifted the time always, not just half of the year. And if people were able to "just work whenever" they would have chosen to work when it was cost effective. There is no logic behind the excuse that it was about power, that's just the marketing that they sold us.

          Today it is nuts as lights cost nothing but computers and HVAC is what draws all of the energy and we now do things backwards from what makes sense (working when it is most expensive and wasteful.)

            yeah yeah - we've had this discussion before - so I don't remember you're claimed reason for the change in the first place.

              I have no idea why they did it, I only know that the claimed reason was totally BS and made no sense at all.

                Did you even look at the site I posted? It doesn't save power.....

                  And while this is obviously true - I don't think the masses want to work at night and sleep during the day. So I'm not sure the solution is for that either... plus I'm not sure how the masses bio clocks would really handle that.

                      No one suggested that, just why do a time shift that is shown to be unhealthy just to waste energy?

                          The question that I have is... why did people used to choose to work when it was dark... and then happily work in the light when DST was introduced? What insane set of circumstances made everyone do something seen as a bad idea one moment but happily just "fix it" the next and then spend half of the year going back to the poor way again for no reason?

                          There are so many flaws with the DST theory.
