Finland to propose that EU abolish daylight savings time
Turkey did that. The results so far are not promising as apparently more energy is used and people are complaining that they don&#x27;t see the daylight in the winter as it&#x27;s dark outside both when leaving home for work and coming back.<p>Will switch back to daylight saving as nobody is happy(Maybe except for the Energy minister who is the son in law of Erdogan and also runs energy companies).<p>edit:<p>here is a source, it&#x27;s form a Turkish factchecking website: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dogrulukpayi.com&#x2F;bulten&#x2F;kalici-yaz-saati-uygulamasi-elektrik-tuketimini-ne-kadar-arttirdi" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dogrulukpayi.com&#x2F;bulten&#x2F;kalici-yaz-saati-uygulama...</a><p>according to the reports, the effect on increase in consumption is inconclusive(there&#x27;s an increase but not necessarily due to this) but public opinion polls shows that people want to go back to the daylight saving schedule with f majority and only " of the people like the permanent summer time.<p>here is a news article reporting that Turkey is ending the permanent summer time and going back to the daylight saving time at the end of the 2018: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.milliyet.com.tr&#x2F;surekli-yaz-saati-uygulamasi-2018-de-ankara-yerelhaber-2366624&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.milliyet.com.tr&#x2F;surekli-yaz-saati-uygulamasi-2018...</a><p>I guess you can use Google Translate to verify. The factchecking website also links to the actual reports.<p>BTW, to all DST Haters, check <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;momentjs.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;momentjs.com</a> and calm down.
