it would save lives, make livuing easier, save energy, and who knows more hours of daylight might help depression thats so common in the winter.

A lot of people -- including me -- would love to have more hours of sun during the winter. :) I think one concern might be the possible affects on the migration instincts of some animals, as I think they are tied in some cases to the number of daylight hours. As days get shorter, animals realize it's time to head south for the winter, and vice versa. James > That was suggested years ago.

Better to keep the war zone dark so the enemy can't see and use night vision to see them  Signaturefree men own guns - slaves don't www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5357/ |
