As a programmer, I despise DST more than most, but it is actually pretty important in the northern parts of the US.
For example, in Seattle, if they were on standard time during the summer, the sun would rise at just after 4am during the summer. If instead they went with DST year round, during the winter the sun would set as early as 3:15pm.
It might not save any electricity, but it would certainly save some sanity in those places.
