Title. How does the amount of daylight one gets affect oil usage?
In: Economics
If we lived on a planet that was always dark, we would have to constantly burn fossil fuels to keep the lights on.
If we lived on a planet where the sun never stopped shining, we would never burn fossil fuels for lighting.
Seasons cause sunrise and sunset to shift, meaning that in the fall and winter it will be dark earlier in the day. If we all agree that time shifts forward and backward each year to reduce the impact of the shifting sunsets, we’ll have more daylight, and less darkness, meaning we burn fewer fossil fuels.
