    I'm hoping this action by the EU will prompt other countries such as the US to follow suit.

    I'm all for either sticking to non-DST year-round, or sticking to DST time year round, but basically sticking to one time. Hopefully when the EU does it, other countries will see it's not too complicated and will do it. The thing that really bugs me is that most of the year, it doesn't matter anyway - in summer, the morning and evening commutes are both happening in daylight; in winter they're both happening in the dark. In other words, the days are long enough in summer and short enough in winter not to make any real difference to whether we have daylight savings or not, anyway.
