Daylight Wasting Time

Daylight Savings Time came early this year, ostensibly to save on energy costs. (DST is also supposed to somehow cheer people up, but all it's does in my house is irritate my poor wife, who now has to leave for work in the dark three days a week to teach early-morning band.) Now liberal environmental wonk Kate Shepherd notes a study showing that DST actually increases energy costs. Thanks a bunch, Congress.

Oldy-but-goody: John J. Miller's utterly persuasive anti-DST rant from 2005.
