Nixon tried this same idea in 1978 when everybody was in long lines at the gas station. Didn't save any money then and won't now. Just another GOP gimmick in lieu of a real approach to our energy problem. Take a look at the legislation itself--filled with write-offs and benefits for the energy industry.

In the meantime, little kids around the country are out on the street an hour earlier (i.e. less daylight then and hence more at risk from drivers also going to work in the dark) waiting in the dark for the bus to school. But, of course, the people who write this kind of legislation don't care about that--their kids are driven to private school by their chauffeurs.
