Back to EpisodesDaylight Saving Debate: Spring Forward
Description
Spring forward, fall back debate intensifies as nineteen states push for permanent daylight saving time, with the Sunshine Protection Act stuck in the House. The history of time shifts dates back to World War One, standardized in nineteen sixty-six, but not all states follow suit. Reactions vary, with former President Trump flip-flopping on his stance and opponents citing a failed nineteen seventy-four trial. A new proposal, the Daylight Act, suggests a half-hour advance nationwide, while British Columbia in Canada recently voted to go permanent daylight saving time.
