Should we lock the clock and stay on standard time or daylight saving time? What would sunrise and sunsets look like at different times of the year if we did lock the clock? Well, we'll get to that in just *** second. But before we go into the whole idea of locking the clock and staying on either standard time or daylight saving time, we first have to look at why exactly do we even have daylight time? So it actually goes back long, long time ago. But let's say, for example, back in World War One, Germany actually introduced daylight saving time in about 1916 to help save fuel and power. Then the United States followed it about two years later, what was with what was called the Standard Time Act, but it was then repealed about *** year later. Jump ahead to World War Two. President Roosevelt reintroduced daylight saving time. It was called war time back then. Um, it lasted for *** bit. And then in 1966 the Uniform Time Act was standardizing daylight saving time across the entire country except in Arizona and in Hawaii, then it's kind of gone through some changes since then and it's been kind of bumped up. It used to be in April now. It's in March. It used to uh basically go from April until October. Now it's March to November. Um, but since then, there's been *** lot of talk and *** lot of states have started to introduce legislation and just ways of trying to say, you know what, let's just get rid of all of this, locking the clock. So for example, if we stay at daylight saving time all year long, otherwise known as summertime, this would be where we advance our clocks ahead one hour. Well, the summertime you wouldn't notice anything different because in the summertime, our sunrises and sunsets would be the way that they are now where you would notice the changes would be during the winter months. So let's take, for example, December, if in December, we decided to stay at daylight saving time, then our sunrises would be one hour later than they are. Now, our sunsets would be one hour later than they are right now. But look at this for, for example, Seattle Mo uh Montana, Minneapolis, Boston, your sunrise would not be until the 8 to 9 o'clock hour. Sunset would be in the five o'clock hour here in Oklahoma. We wouldn't see sunrise until around 830 but sunset would be around 620. So we would have some later sunrises, but also the sun would set *** little bit later as well. Ok. How about, let's go to standard time if we decided to change to standard time and we stayed at standard time all year long. That would be otherwise known as winter time. Well, the, the winters you wouldn't notice anything different, but in the summer time you would notice things different. For example, we would not be springing ahead one hour like we already do. That means that sunrise up north would be in the four am hour twilight. That's when the sun begins to come up and it starts to get light outside. That would occur in the three am hour for the northern tier of the United States. For Oklahoma City. For example, our sunrise would be at 515 in the morning. That means twilight would be in the 4 a.m. hour sun that though would be around 745. So right now we have sunset in the summertime in the late eight o'clock hour. It's still light out at nine o'clock. Now, some recent polling came out not that long ago, 33% of Americans said that they would be in favor of staying at standard time. 33% said that they would be in favor of staying in daylight saving time and 33% did not have really *** care either way. But what do you think? Would you rather stay at standard time or daylight saving time?
