  According to a squib on NPR, The Congress in its infinite
  wisdom very quietly and quickly passed a bill, now signed into
  law, that PERMITS but not requires individual Western states to
  advance "Daylight" time (also known as "Advanved Time" in the
  communications industry) an additional hour, allegedly to
  ameliorate power shortfalls.

  Those of us with professional degrees in power engineering know
  that the best way to ameliorate such shortages is to build more
  generating capacity, the sooner the better, but that's a different
  rant....
