If it changes the total number of hours that you are in the dark, then it does have an effect. If you get up at sunrise or later then you (theoretically) aren't using much electricity for lighting in the morning. If going to DST makes the sunset later for you and you go to bed at the same time with or without DST, then you are in the dark for an hour less in the evening with DST, so using an hour less lighting.
It's not about getting the full day of sunlight as much as it about how long you spend awake in the dark.

They know how to use peyote in their religious ceremonies. They smoke the old peace pipe and speak directly with Mother Nature.
That's what they know

He forgot the thousands he owes me and dozens of favors he owes me. But you notice he never has forgot Rolf getting him Ice Cream.
The thing I will never forget is how his lovely wife Lisa delivered the most perfect zinger on him I have ever heard - and I have heard a bunch.
It was classic and I only wish I had a video of it!!!!!!!!!!!!
