- Most European countries change to "summer time", but -- beware --
- not at the same dates as the US.
- There is a hot discussion about its value, especially in the countries
- north of the 50th latidute, where in summer the sunset is at about
- 9 pm anyway...
- There are so many conflicts on the days of time change. Especially the
- farmers object, because milk cattle (as example) needs a week or so
- to get accustomed to the new milking hours.
- The energy saving seems to be below 1.5 %, after measurements of the
- power suppliers in Germany.
