Elon Moscow Poll X users at the end of daylight savings

Billion Elon Musk Interviewed users of their social media X platform on how they want to approach the end of day light savings (DST).

Musk asked in a message on Wednesday: “If the daylight is canceled (SIC) abolished, you prefer an hour earlier or an hour.

About 58% of respondents said an hour later, while almost 42% an hour earlier, and more than 1.2 million users voted on Thursday morning. This means that respondents prefer permanent DST to stay in the standard year -round.

Musk poll emphasized the discussion that has been reliable in the US in recent years when lawmakers weigh potentially to complete the tradition twice a year to set up hours before the “spring forward” Daytime treatment time savings and “back” at the standard time.

American standardized DST across the country with the only act of time in 1966, which made the clock changes in the spring and fell practice in all states except Arizona and Hawaii who refused.

Moving to DST constantly or stays in standard time constantly demand the act of CongressEven if 18 countries have passed the laws that would provide for a permanent DST if Congress allows such changes, the National Conference of State Legislative Bodies reports.

In March 2022, the Senate adopted a bill unanimous consent that would make the daylight if it became a law. However, the law on the protection of sunlight, introduced by the then hay. Brand RubioR-Fla., Delay in the House of Representatives, and several senators said they would object to the request for unanimous consent-efficiently blocking the bill if they knew what it was necessary to consider.

Since then, legislators have introduced several bills aimed at making the DST permanent or allowing states to make their own decisions regardless of Congress. Other measures at the state level suggested to do Standard Time Permanent ending with DST.

Report from The Congressional Research Service (CRS) notes that several studies have been conducted on some consequences of changes in the clock, as well as the useful and negative effects of DST and standard time.

In the report of the National Standards Bureau (NBS) 1975, there was no significant energy savings and differences in the road. While he found statistically significant evidence of increasing deaths among school-age children between January to April 1974, when the NBS considered the months individually in comparison with the same DST period.

CRS noted that other studies found that the impact of the DST on failures was not statistically significant and that one study noticed that although there were contradictory short -term data, long -term DST consequences could indicate positive effects at fewer accidents. It adds that long -term results “may be associated with other factors except light.”

A Department of Energy In 2008, the impact of DST enlargement on energy consumption was studied and found that it corresponded to a reduction in electricity by 0.03%. The agency said there was insufficient evidence to determine whether the dST measurable impact on gas consumption or the volume of the car has had an expanded DST.

A number of studies have considered the potential health effects of six -year hours. The 2013 study revealed data that corresponds to the previous trends that “move to DST and DST, can be associated with a temporary increase and decrease in the disease (acute myocardial infarction or heart attack) respectively.”

In 2020, the American Academy of Medicine Sleep made a recommendation that in the US the transition on year -round, writing that “modern evidence is supported by the adoption of a standard year of year, which best meets the human circus biology and provides various benefits for health and security.”
