The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed by the U.S. Congress July, 2005, extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the U.S. by approximately four weeks. As a result, beginning in 2007, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on November 4, 2007, resulting in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than previously observed.

It's good to see the U.S. Energy Policy Act is focusing on important things and y'know, not like Global Warming.

I saw Borat when are we rounding them up and putting them into prison?

Sadly no matter what we do at this point, we will be facing at least 100 years of Global Warming consequences. Of course this doesnt mean we shouldnt do anything, it just means that if we do change the way we live to stem the tide of Global Warming we will ensure that we dont have to suffer 200-300 years of consequences

does this shit affect Canada too

TheOMan · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2007, 06:20:52 PM »

I can't believe this actually passed. This is gonna be hilarious when Canada and the US are out of synch. Just dumb.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2007, 06:22:32 PM »

The US has been out of sync with itself for some time. Arizona doesn't observe DST.

Looks like Canada is in on doing the whole DST change as well. We're such followers.

what's going to happen with all those CE devices with embedded clocks that calculate the daylight savings dynamically

Same thing that happens in all the places that don't do daylight savings? That's right, it's going to blow up.

seriously! I have to buy 2 alarm clocks, 2 microwaves and 2 PC and laptops a year here in AZ. They didn't blow up over Y2K, but for some reason daylight savings is just too much to handle.

uh, more like, they're pre-programmed to automatically switch the hour either back or forth two times a year at dates that are now void
