How does daylight saving time help in power conservation?

1. They shift the hours so that the time you are awake, the sun is out longer, meaning you can use less lighting and such.
2. By adjusting the time people spend more of their waking time in the daylight. Less need to turn on lights. Less hours running furnaces during the winter. Safer driving while the sun is up. Probably some other reasons, as well. .
3. It probably doesn;t save any power. It merely shifts the power use to a different time of day. Getting up an hour earlier without changing the clock would have the same effect as Daylight Saving time, which is a major nuisance to some people, especially farmers.
