What Happened? |
Congress is moving closer to ending the twice-a-year clock changes that Americans have dealt with for decades. The Trump-backed Sunshine Protection Act cleared the House Rules Committee in a 6-4 vote and is now headed toward consideration by the full House. The bill would allow states to make Daylight Saving Time permanent while preserving the option to remain on standard time. |
The legislation has gained considerable momentum in recent months, clearing the House Energy and Commerce Committee by a 48-1 vote in May. Roughly 20 states have already passed measures supporting permanent Daylight Saving Time if Congress gives them the authority. President Trump has also repeatedly called for an end to changing the clocks each spring and fall. |
The proposal still faces opposition from lawmakers and medical groups that favor permanent standard time, as they believe darker winter mornings could pose safety risks to children and disrupt natural sleep cycles. Similar legislation was unanimously passed by the Senate in 2022 before stalling in the House. |
Why It Matters |
Permanent Daylight Saving Time would change the rhythm of daily life across much of the country by moving an hour of sunlight from the morning into the evening. Longer evenings could keep restaurants and stores busier after work, extend outdoor recreation, and give families more usable daylight after school and work… |

The Hottest Land Grab in America Isn’t for Oil |
|
|
Energy giants like Exxon and Chevron have been buying up land in America’s lithium hotspot. Now they’ve got a new neighbor. EnergyX just acquired 35,000 gross acres of high-grade lithium resources in the Smackover Formation, right next to Exxon and Chevron’s projects. |
What’s really turning heads about this move is that EnergyX isn’t just competing for lithium-rich land. Their patented technology can extract up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That combination positions EnergyX to be one of the biggest lithium producers in America. Plus, General Motors has already invested along with other global leaders like Eni and POSCO.* |
Great timing too, because the demand for lithium is projected to grow 5X by 2040. You can claim a stake in the lithium boom too. Invest in EnergyX. |

But the tradeoff would come during winter, when many communities would not see the sun rise until well into the morning. Medical groups argue that permanent standard time better matches natural sleep cycles, while year-round Daylight Saving Time could leave millions of children traveling to school in darkness. |
Congress has spent years debating the issue without reaching a solution, but the current proposal has considerable momentum. President Trump is backing the effort, the bill has received overwhelming committee support, and roughly 20 states are prepared to make the change. Federal approval could finally settle the debate and force Americans to decide which matters more: brighter mornings or longer evenings. |
How It Affects You |
If implemented, parents in northern states could send children to school well before daylight during the coldest months, while construction crews, farmers, and other outdoor workers might begin their days in darkness. Morning commutes could also become more difficult when sunrise arrives after much of the workforce is already on the road. |
However, the benefits would become much more noticeable once the workday ends. An extra hour of evening daylight would give parents more time with their children, allow youth sports to practice later, and make outdoor activities easier without relying on artificial lighting. |
Congress tried year-round Daylight Saving Time in 1974, only to reverse course after public enthusiasm collapsed amid dark winter mornings. The same complaints could quickly return if parents and commuters decide an extra hour of evening sunlight is not worth starting much of the day before sunrise. |
