Mankind Seeks to Control the Sun
"Since the beginning of time man has yearned to destroy the sun. I will do the next best thing...block it out!" - C. Montgomery Burns
I like the idea of extending Daylight Savings Time. It really puts a hop in your step the first time you realize that it's 7:30 and still fairly light out. In fact, I'd be happy never to go back to the days of the 4 p.m. sunset. So I like this bill.
But Ed Markey, who was my Congressman when I lived in Arlington, threw in this head-scratcher:
"The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use"
I just don't see how even an act of Congress can actually increase the amount of daylight.
