How Permanent Daylight Saving Would Impact Each State
Map of the United States titled "How Permanent Daylight Saving Would Impact Each State." States are color-coded by projected impact if daylight saving time became permanent. Florida, Texas and much of the Deep South are shown as major beneficiaries in dark green. California and much of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast are shown as moderate beneficiaries in light green. Several Western and Midwestern states are marked as having mixed impacts in yellow. Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Alaska are shown as facing major drawbacks in red. Arizona and Hawaii are marked as having no meaningful change in gray because they do not generally observe daylight saving time.
