I would have to find the study, but IIRC, corporations save more with the changes across the year, while families lose out, on the electricity expenditure. Essentially they were showing how it was a transfer of cost from bosses to employees.
Also, the changes are unnatural and particularly difficult for children and pets, stressful for adults and harmful for teens whose diurnal patterns naturally shift later while completing their physical and mental growth.
Increased stress on working adults shows in the general population through spikes in heart attacks, GI diseases and neurological issues. These waves are blamed on seasonal or weather changes, but apparently coincide with these corporate artificial clock resets.
