It is all related to an energy bill that congress passed. The idea is 
that by extending daylight savings it will save a lot of energy during 
the evening peak load. Although numerous studies have shown that 
changing start dates of daylight savings does little to decrease energy 
usage, I guess they chose to ignore those.
