Are We Finally Going to Quit Setting Clocks Back and Forth Twice a Year?

The House (Congress) has passed a bill to make Daylight Savings Time. But it still has to make it through the Senate. Daylight saving time started in 1918 to add additional daylight hours and help conserve energy during World War I. It was implemented again during World War II. Congress decided to make daylight saving time permanent in 1973, but changed their minds just a few months later due to public outcry. The first President Bush (George W) initiated the current practice of starting daylight saving time on the second Sunday in March and ending it on the first Sunday in November. There are people on both sides of the argument. I say leave the time alone and let nature do what it does.
