As Cintra ably noted several weeks ago, the knee-jerk daylight savings hour change pushed through by the Fernández de Kirchner government in an attempt to save energy was irritating enough for people in the western province of San Luis that they quickly recinded the measure. Eating at 11 p.m. was bad enough, but finding out it didn't save energy was worse. Of course, San Luis is governed by Kirchner enemy Alberto Rodríguez Saá, so turning back the clock might have just been a way to stick a finger in the eye of K (further info from Bariloche said the energy both did not and did save energy). A story in today's Wall Street Journal about the use of daylight savings time in Indiana give a bit more of a disinterested third-party take on the thing, and it comes to the conclusion that daylight savings doesn't save any energy: rather, in these air conditioning happy times, it wastes it. So much for that idea, then. Maybe we'll have to invest in finding more energy. Or raise prices to cut consumption. Or maybe we should just pray.
