That study did find that in that state, daylight saving time did result in a 1% to 4% increase in energy usage because of the increase in heating costs.<br /><br />Conversely, two similar studies done in California found that there was a marginal decrease in energy costs because of the reduced use of air conditioning.<br /><br />New studies are being conducted on a nation-wide level to determine the effects on all energy usage. Results of those studies are expected in the next year or two.the apple ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393142025560063997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440938.post-5093796836675774272010-03-14T22:47:16.452-04:002010-03-14T22:47:16.452-04:00But I've also read that Daylight Saving Time i...But I've also read that Daylight Saving Time increases heating-energy consumption by more than it saves in electricity; in other words, that it's a net drain on the environment.MLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03926163308812746233noreply@blogger.com
