Daylight Savings Time - What is it good for?

Every spring I do not look forward to Daylight Savings Time (DST). The whole loosing a hour of sleep in the morning does not treat me well. The government tells us that it saves us energy use and I say BS. For the past few weeks when I get up at 7am I don't have to turn on too many lights (1 to be precise), as for the sun is bright and I can see well. Now that DST has taken affect I will be waking up at the same time, but it will be dark and I will have to turn on all of my lights to see. Hmmm... That is more power than I was using yesterday. Then I read stories like this where a study was done by the University of California in Santa Barbara, they found that DST in fact uses more energy than without it. [Story is here] [Or here]So, tell me why do we still do this, we are not using candles to see like we were when Ben Franklin started the DST. Come on, we need to eliminate the Daylight Savings Time for good.
