Why did daylight savings time come so early this year?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"Up until two years ago, only 15 of Indiana's 92 counties set their clocks an hour ahead in the spring and an hour back in the fall. The rest stayed on standard time all year, in part because farmers resisted the prospect of having to work an extra hour in the morning dark."
This was studied by University of California-Santa Barbara economics professor Matthew Kotchen and Ph.D. student Laura Grant.
"Their finding: Having the entire state switch to daylight-saving time each year, rather than stay on standard time, costs Indiana households an additional $8.6 million in electricity bills."
The reason is because people use air conditioning on hot afternoons and heating on cool mornings. What's more, is people have to use their headlights in the morning because they go to work in the dark, which offsets not using headlights in the evening.
Also, there has been some studies that showed auto accidents go up the first week after daylight savings time because everybody is so groggy from the time change.

The proof of conservation is debatable.
Is there any evidence changing the time actually saves any energy?
Good answer. Drivel while many studies have shown that DST saves energy the extension was not considered to save any energy and actually cost money due to required upgrades to embedded equipment. http://www.ucei.berkeley.edu/PDF/csemwp163.pdf
