Work isn't your whole day. When do you get up in the morning and when do

are.

I get up when it's still just barely dark. But I think the folks in
northeastern Maine may not.


Most DOT's recommend driving with your lights on all the time. No energy
saving there.

A silly recommendation, like the third brakelight. Only works when
it's unusual. Two of my cars drive around all day with thier
headlights off, the third with low power "driving lights".


The only change is going to be who pays. Do I use more lights at home
or at the office? The window is the same, the only thing that changes
is what I am doing at some particular tick of the clock.

For you yes, for others, probably a monority, there is a savings
because the day starts later or they are further east in thier time
zones.

If most people don't save energy and a minority do, then there is a
net savings.
