It is a common myth in the United States that DST was first implemented for the benefit of farmers, to give children more time to work in the field before they had to go to school.

The energy transition is driven by the goal to decarbonize the energy used for transportation , buildings, and industry. Lacking a low-cost way of removing greenhouse gases from the air, the solution is to electrify as much as possible with clean power.
