Equally -- or more -- important: This would be a lifestyle enhancement for
us all.

Imagine how wonderful it would be to have some daylight in the evenings
after supper -- in January?

In the old days, farmers represented a large percentage of the population,
and had the clout to "shift" (or, in this case, "hold") time into the
morning, so that they could work in the daylight. Now, with farmers
representing far less than 1% of the population, to have darkness every
afternoon is just silly, unsafe, and expensive.
