Here is a link to a study from "down under".
From the abstract, "... Using detailed panel data on halfhourly
electricity consumption, prices, and weather conditions, we show that
the extension
failed to reduce electricity demand. ..."

Anyone recall when Nixon said:
I AM pleased to sign today H.R. 11324, placing the United States on
daylight saving time for a period of approximately 2 years, beginning at
2 a.m., Sunday, January 6, 1974.
I was in 7th grade, riding my bike to school in the dark!
Nixon also said something about a goal of self-sufficiency in energy
through "Project Independence", Boy, I guess that didn't work.

From the WXPNews newsletter:
Daylight Saving Time change: how will it affect your computer?
One aspect of a Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated a big change in
daylight saving time, which will be extended by four additional weeks
starting in 2007. Well, 2007 is here and the change takes effect on
March 11, when DST starts three weeks earlier than usual. Folks with
older computers are wondering what problems, if any, the time change
will cause. If your computer is relatively new and automatically
updated, you probably don't have anything to worry about. Older
operating systems may require you to manually update. Microsoft is
making update tools available for Windows, Outlook, Exchange and mobile
products.
For more info about Microsoft products affected by the change and what
you should do to make the transition easier, including links to update
utilities, see:
