DST is supposed to help save energy due to less electricity use (some studies dispute this). It would be interesting to know if this savings would evaporate if DST was in effect all year - if people would simply adjust their lifestyles to a later hour.

It may have started that way, but it turns out it is the retailers who have pushed this on us. If it stays darker later, people shop longer and spend more money, this in turn increases the state sales tax.

I prefer Local Solar Time, which in my town is 19 minutes ahead of Standard time.
All jest aside, I used to set my watch to Local Solar Time (noon is when the sun is at its zenith) when I would go backpacking. It gave me a better sense of how many hours of daylight I had available and, of course, when high noon was.
