Washington, maybe the whole west coast, is talking about implementing
another hour of daylight savings time in a few weeks. This would be an
effort to save energy. If there is more daylight, the lights won't come on
and use that precious electricity. I understand this was done before during
WWII. What would that do to DST algorithms?
