Even the energy saving bit hyped of late is debatable. I was much happier when i lived in Indiana without DST. It's particularly annoying at the western edge of a timezone. Guess where i live...

It's a great energy saver. You get up when it is light and need less light later in the evening before you turn in for the night. That is why DST gets extended when there is an energy crunch.
