If I recall the time change was originally done for the farmers but my
memory is a bit fuzzy on this. Personally I find it a bit annoying
changing the clock twice a year too. I wonder if we just changed it
say 1/2 hour permanently and did away with the 1 hour back and forth
changes, if that would be adequate to make everyone (well better to
say almost everyone) happy?? I'm willing to compromise but heck I'm
easy :( .
It was originally proposed by Benjamin Franklin and put into law in the US to save energy during WW1.
I think right now just like ethanol it is feel good stuff. Drivers operating their single occupant aircraft carriers waste far more energy than we can hope to save.
