Can any of the USA-based members of this mailing-list confirm if there are any proposals currently being considered by your "Congress", to change the 'Daylight-Saving Time' period of each year - which is April to October, at the moment, but may be extended to cover the months of March to November ?
This possibility was recently mentioned by one of our customers located in New Mexico, as being a 'fuel-saving' action - but he could not give me any more details of the change, or a likely time-scale for its implementation. Perhaps some of our American members could give me further information, on whether this proposal is likely to be adopted - plus also whether it would become a 'permanent' change, or simply for any 'experimental' time period. If the change was indeed implemented, I presume that it would cover ALL of the USA States which use 'DST' - whilst those which do not (like Arizona), will continue to remain on 'Standard' time all year, as they currently do. Due to the reason being to save on fuel, might there be a possibility that the 'non-DST' areas of the USA would be forced to "fall in line" as well ? With my thanks in advance for any additional details or comments, on this. Best Regards, Douglas Hunt. -- "MODERN SUNCLOCKS" - 'Human Sundials', using YOUR OWN SHADOW to tell time.
