many people believe that daylight savings time was first created for agricultural or inter-state commerce purposes, but it was really started by germany and france during world war i in an effort to save coal by reducing energy consumption with a longer day. today, the reality is that this reduction in energy consumption benefit is needed just as much if not more during the winter months than the summer months. in 2018, the european commission performed a public survey and discovered that 84 percent of european citizens were in favor of discontinuing daylight savings time switches. the commission then proposed ending daylight saving time changes as early as this 2019. however, the conclusion of the european commission report only indicated that member states should decide whether to use their current standard-time during winter months or select a different standard-time that aligns to their current summer month's time which would equate to remaining on daylight-savings time year round.
