"In fact, it's just as likely that daylight saving time costs energy.
One of these studies, published by the prestigious National Bureau of Economic Research, looked at energy use in Indiana, which imposed daylight saving time statewide for the first time in 2006.Researchers found that residential electricity use in areas of the state that adopted DST for the first time actually increased by 1%.
Another opportunity to study the energy impact of DST came after the change in start dates went into effect in 2007. Researchers looked at energy use in California and found it didn't change at all.
Worse, these nonexistent energy gains come at a terrible price in lost lives,"
