Are they friggin’ nuts?!?
Michigan Congressman Fred Upton is trying to ammend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to change DST.
Another daylight saving time debate made its way to Washington.
Michigan Congressman Fred Upton introduced legislation to extend daylight saving time as part of the Energy Policy Act.
Currently, daylight saving time begins in the United States on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.
Rep. Upton says extending daylight saving time “makes sense” especially with “skyrocketing energy costs”.
Under Upton’s amendment, it would begin in March and end in November.
Yeah… it would also fubar every computer, router, and firewall in my NOC.
Sure, given time, man hours, cash, and enough patches and firmware updates, everything would be spiffy again. That is, of course, only if the hardware and software mfgr’s write an update (we have some older equipment in use… most of it would have to be replaced).
Monumental bad idea, kids. Don’t do it.
