U.S. House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. House has approved a bill to make daylight saving time permanent, a move that could end the seasonal clock changes that millions of Americans currently endure. While the Senate still needs to pass the bill for it to become law, its future there remains uncertain. This move is driven by a desire to simplify schedules and reduce the confusion that comes with twice-yearly clock shifts, but it also sparks debate over whether it aligns with environmental goals, such as reducing energy consumption during daylight hours.
