Summary
CNN refreshed an interactive guide on July 15 showing how permanent Daylight Saving Time could change sunrise and sunset patterns across the United States.
The update comes as some mostly Republican lawmakers keep reviving proposals to end the twice-yearly clock change by making DST permanent.
The article traces DST from World War I and World War II energy-saving efforts through the Uniform Time Act of 1966 and the US experiment with permanent DST during the 1970s energy crisis.
CNN says the tool lets readers compare how much sunlight they would get before and after work or school, while the broader debate still turns on health and safety research.
