Why don’t Arizona and Hawaii participate in Daylight Saving Time?
Hawaii opted out of the Uniform Time Act because of how close the state is to the equator. This makes daylight savings time unnecessary because the sun rises and sets at approximately the same time every day throughout the year.
Arizona once participated in 1967, but energy consumption got out of control. According to an article by Arizona State University, much of the country was saving fuel, but in Arizona, they used more energy to handle the extra hour of daylight.
The Navajo Nation, which occupies the northeastern corner of the state, continues to participate in daylight savings.

Why is this not ‘saving’
