چکیده
CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 California has drawn much international attention with its efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and encourage clean electricity production. In addition to pre-existing regulations that require expanded energy efficiency programs and increased purchases of renewable energy, last year California passed Assembly Bill 32 which calls for an overall reduction in greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by 2020. This ambitious legislation caused many to speculate that California will lead the country and perhaps the world in reducing greenhouse gases (GhG). Global Warming: What Can California Do?

The history of Daylight Saving Time (DST) has been long and controversial. Throughout its implementation during World Wars I and II, the oil embargo of the 1970s, consistent practice today, and recent extensions, the primary rationale for DST has always been to promote energy conservation. Nevertheless, there is surprisingly little evidence that DST actually saves energy. This paper takes advan...

متن کاملDoes Daylight Saving Time Save Energy? Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Indiana
This paper takes advantage of a natural experiment in the state of Indiana to estimate the effect of Daylight Saving Time (DST) on residential electricity consumption. Our main finding is that—contrary to the policy’s intent—DST increases residential electricity demand. Estimates of the overall increase are approximately 1 percent, but DST causes the greatest increase in electricity consumption...
