Congress lengthened DST by two weeks at each end because Congress wanted to look green, and Al Gore and his buddies egged them into it. And yet a study conducted in Indiana, which just implemented DST for the first time a few years ago, found that DST caused a 7 percent increase in energy consumption in that state. Our biggest problem in this country is an activist government. Too many people think that Congress needs to solve all these problems we have. Most of the problems they solve never existed in the first place. The problem we most need to solve is the big government problem.
