In Boise Idaho we have light till 10PM during summer. Can't even shoot off fireworks on on the 4th. of July, till after 10PM. Kids hate going to bed, with the sun still out.
No, but I could turn it off earlier in the evening if it got darker sooner. The plan adds an hour of intense sunlight opposed to less intense sunlight in the morning. I already explained why in my prior post.
So now I'm confused. If you don't turn your A/C off or up during the day, how does the clock time affect anything? Isn't it hot when it's 102 degrees, regardless of what the clock says? Wouldn't you just leave it on until it gets dark regardless of what the clock says? It's still the same number of "hot" hours everyday.
I kind of understand your concern if you are turning it off during the day while you're at work, because it will be a little cooler when you get home if it's already dark. But if you just leave it on during the hot part of the day anyway, then the clock time is irrelevant right? What am I missing here?
They should've split the difference and did a one time 30 minute time shift. Doesn't matter though. The house will likely muck it up and try to add a "voter's rights" rider to it(like they did with a NASA spending bill), dooming it when it goes back to the Senate for reconciliation.
As predicted all the Standard Time nazis have come out in full force. Do we have any indication how the House is going to vote?
Honestly I'm shocked the Senate granted unanimous consent, I'm thinking half the members weren't even paying attention but that House member phones are now ringing off the hook
