Why is daylight saving in March this year?

Daylight savings is in March this year because of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) by four weeks, starting from the second Sunday in March and ending on the first Sunday in November. The four weeks were added with the hope that businesses, homes, and other energy using sources would use less energy. Whether or not less energy is being used, or that more energy is being saved has yet to be seen.
