My understanding, not having followed this thread, is that at best there is a
believed savings of energy to the order of 1%. I have no idea if that is
statistically valid. I am also told that the shift from standard to daylight
time causes some 263 traffic deaths during the transitional period,
Dear Tony,
Thank you for your HSW presentation!
I wonder if it would not be a good idea to have a Dutch translation, too.
