Did they change standard time/daylight savings

.....politics is just that...politics. IMO it's a good idea.

Ummm... why? Is your workplace naturally lit? Probably most workplaces in the USA don't even *have* windows. Certainly any natural light that manages to sneak into workplaces and schools doesn't mean that they use any *less* artificial light than they do when they use the same rooms at night. Now if we were on permanent double daylight savings time like Russia, then people *would* use less artificial light at home... and probably be more productive at work because they're reaping all the benefits of getting some natural light and outdoor recreation.
