Would extending daylight savings time give us more daylight?

It's "daylight saving time".

"More"? No. "Later"? Yes. That's the whole point.

It's funny...there's a whole comment-fest going on at slashdot.org right now
on this very topic. Bottom line, if we want to conserve energy, there are
much better ways to do it than mucking around with daylight saving time.

For those of us pilots tied to our clocks, rather than the natural rhythm of
sunrise and sunset, extending daylight saving time would make it easier to
land before sunset. But we'd have more morning flights in the dark. Hard
to say it's better than a wash. I guess it depends on what time you
normally get up and go to sleep.
