Hello All,
Currently there are two states in the USA that I know of that are actively pursuing DST all year long, which in essence, would be like moving each of them to the next time zone to the east. In Florida, the bill has passed both houses of the legislature and is currently sitting on the Governor’s desk for approval. In Alabama, the bill has passed one house of the legislature and is on the way to the other house before heading to the Governor’s desk. In both cases, final approval will have to be granted by the US Congress before it can happen. For pro dialists like me this is something that is liable to complicate matters if a patchwork of states decide to do this, and also, it is really going to mess up their television schedules! Something to be aware of and watch as it unfolds. That’s all I have to say about that ;-) Best, Jim Tallman www.spectrasundial.com www.artisanindustrials.com [email protected] 513-253-5497 From: sundial [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter Mayer Sent: Monday, March 19, 2018 3:27 AM To: Sundial List Subject: A cost-benefit look at daylight saving Hi, The current issue of Scientific American concludes with a look at the costs and benefits of daylight saving. There is a chart which will be familiar to all of us. Two interesting research findings receive mention: crime goes down with earlier evenings, heart attacks rise when the clock 'springs ahead'. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-daylight-saving-time-good-or-bad-for-you/ best wishes, Peter -- Peter Mayer <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> Virus-free. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=emailclient> www.avast.com
