Energy Consumption Patterns in Maine
Recent studies on energy consumption during DST in Maine show modest savings of approximately 1.2% in electricity usage. However, these savings are offset by increased gasoline consumption as people take advantage of extended daylight for travel and recreation. The net energy impact remains a subject of ongoing research and debate among policy makers.
Preparation Tips
✓ Consider the time change when scheduling meetings with people in other time zones.
✓ Take advantage of the 'extra' hour in fall to catch up on sleep or tackle a project.
✓ Set your clocks before going to bed to avoid confusion in the morning.
✓ Remember that not all countries change on the same date - check international meeting times carefully.
