Opinion: California needs to settle on it's own standard time and drop Daylight Saving Time [Opinion]
It is impossible to save daylight. Californians could save millions of power usage dollars and reduce the peak hour strain on California’s power grid by returning to year-round California Standard Time.
If year-round standard time was adopted, Californians could shut off their air conditioners one hour earlier at 7 p.m. during the hot summer months rather than turning off their Daylight Savings air-conditioners at 8 p.m. Also, parents would not have to get their kids ready for school in the dark and working Californians would not have to commute during the dark morning hours.And one more thing I would not have to reset my 15 clocks and watches twice every year. Other states have adopted year-round standard time. California should do the same.
