And that's here. Cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Indy would see a 9am or later sunrise. I just don't see that happening. Interestingly we did do year round DST for one year in 73-74. Any guesses as to why it was only for a year?
The 2nd part is true-it doesn't save any costs on electricity. The first part is a problem you'd have 8:20 sunrises here and 9:20am in the western ends of each time zone in Dec-Jan. Not happening.
What a day-into the mid 60's here with full sun...people out everywhere even some restaurants serving lunch outdoors...upstairs of my house is actually too warm from the heat building-crazy for 3/3
