Online Poll: Should Wyoming Have Year-Round Daylight Saving Time?

It's that time again--the twice a year time change.

The time change officially takes effect at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 3, with the time changing from Daylight Saving Time to Mountain Standard time.

But the concept of changing the clocks twice a year has become increasingly controversial in recent years, both in Wyoming and across the country. Critics question whether changing the clocks is really an energy-saving move in an age of computers and air conditioning

Numerous studies have found the time changes cause an increase in accidents and even heart attacks, and there is little question that the practice disrupts sleep patterns.

In Wyoming, a 2020 law passed by the legislature would have Wyoming ask for federal permission to go to year-round Daylight Saving Time if  three other "western states" passed such legislation. The bill defined those states as North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Montana.

Over the past five years, 19 states have passed laws mandating an end to changing the clocks by going to Daylight Saving Time year-round, Apparently Daylight Saving Time, with extra light at the end of the day, is more politcally popular than Standard Time.

But while the federal law allows states to opt out of Daylight Saving Time if they choose, it does not allow them to leave Standard Time behind without federal permission. While bills to do that have been introduced in Congress in recent years, none have so far become law.

So what do you think? Should Wyoming go to year-round Daylight Saving Time if possible? Or maybe the solution is going to Standard Time all year?

Or maybe you like the tradition of changing the clocks twice a year?
