Spring swings back in, and more about Daylight Savings Time

"Yesterday, I talked a bit about Daylight Saving Time, and some of the reasons for having it. One is that it apparently saves energy. Webexhibits.org quotes a Department of Energy study that shows Daylight Saving trims a small (less than 1%), but significant amount of energy consumed in the U.S.
Apparently, the savings in other countries is even greater. In New Zealand, power consumption drops 3.5%. Since much of the electricity we consume is in the evening, we need less artificial light, and thus less electricity."
So-o-o-o-o-o...
it would appear that Lixy's energy LOSS is the rest of our energy GAIN...since we all know from the First Principle of Thermodynamics...energy is conserved, i.e., energy can neither be created nor destroyed. :grin:
