A net energy loss/gain analysis of DST would be interesting, at least from the consumption side. That could impact carbon emissions which would be relevant today, right?

Many analyses have been performed and the only thing they have agreed on is that the difference, whether more savings or extra waste, is miniscule: less than 1%

  > less than 1% On a global or national scale this can be a very large amount - calling it miniscuLe is a little disingenuous

    No, what is meant it's so small, that no one can tell how big the difference is and more importantly, does DST waste or save energy.

      Eh fair, was a little early in the morning and I misread the +- part

  It's 1 to 4% energy cost based on https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/10.1162/REST_a_00131 https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/10.1162/REST_a_00131 Additionally, that study found increased pollution and associated costs.
