In addition to providing incentives to promote renewable energy sources, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended daylight savings time in the US by approximately four weeks... except in a leap year. In a compromise reached with religious lobbies and NASA, clocks are turned back again for the first two weeks of April in every year which has 29 days in February. This adjustment is necessary to compensate for discrepancies between the Gregorian calendar and the astronomical year. Hope you remembered to change your clock today. Oh, yeah... and the moon is made of green cheese.
