Why did we start daylight saving time early?

Question

if it didn't save any energy

Answer 1

It should save some energy because we have an extra hour daylight which means we do not need to turn on as many lights.  I don't see how anyone could know whether it was successful or not since it only started one month ago.

Answer 2

Because politicians needed to appear environmentally concerned without doing anything that might upset their major contributors.

Answer 3

politicans decided to become enviornmentally friendly. its because in america ppl. always leave the light and ac's on in workplace, n go home n have them on at home as well.

so in order to save energy they started it early b/c then most ppl. turn off their lights before they go to work, and in thus using the energy only at work place.

its not going to make a huge diffrence, that all the problems that have accumulated in past 50 years or so will be solved, but it makes a little difference.
