Why was the end of daylight savings changed from October to November in 2007?

Answer 1

The decision to expand the portion of the year in which we would use daylight savings time was made on the principle that more daylight would be saved, that is, the original purpose of daylight savings time would be accomplished to a greater degree; human schedules would better synchronize with the hours when the sun is up.

Answer 2

On Monday August 8, 2005 President Bush signed into law a broad energy bill (Energy Policy Act of 2005) that extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks beginning in 2007. The provisions of the bill called for Daylight Saving Time to begin three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and end one week later on the first Sunday in November. Previously, Daylight Saving Time started on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October. The provisions took effect on March 11, 2007.
