Daylight Saving Time

It's Monday morning.  To make things worse it's Monday morning and by "springing forward" we are all sleep deprived.  Daylight Saving Time is not all bad though.  It is nice to enjoy more outdoor activites after work and we are saving energy, right?  Wether or not Daylight Savings saves energy or not has become a hot topic.  Ben Franklin came up with the idea because he calculated that by changing the time you could save on the amount of oil used in lamps.  Times have changed though.  The argument that it does not save energy claims that people are running their a/c units more and your a/c uses more energy than having a couple of lights on.  This is an interesting argument.  Let us know what you think.  Do you use less energy when we "spring forward?"
