Most people like to get up when the Sun is coming up or close to it. People don't want to wake when it's dark for another 1-2 hours. Without DLST then the Sun would come up at around 8:30 in December and January in northern states. People are up at 6:30, 7AM - waiting around 2 hours would be awful. And a waste of energy in the morning.
- freedrock87 5y agoInstead of a waste of energy in the evening? Your arguments have very subjective points and you could easily claim that due to WFH more people are waking up later.
- nemo44x 5y agoWFH affects a very small part of the population. Most working people have to start early for various reasons and have to go to a workplace. Having the Sun is useful for them. Most people start work at 8AM.
- H1Supreme 5y ago> And a waste of energy in the morning How is it not the same waste of energy in the evenings? People don't go to sleep when the sun sets.
- nemo44x 5y agoBecause you're awake for a longer period when it is dark out so you need to use energy.
- joshgachnang 5y agoThe wasting energy argument seems to be the opposite to me. People will get home and not have to immediately turn on lights, saving some energy. Not everyone is awake at 6:30am, so their lights remain off.
