Is this for real?

Looking at CNN.com, and saw a story called "Congress seeks to extend Daylight-Savings Time." They said they were going to extend it to save on energy. The quote that really got me was this: "The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use," said Markey, who cited Transportation Department estimates that showed the two-month extension would save the equivalent of 10,000 barrels of oil a day. Either I am really confused and reading this article wrong, or this is a late april fool's joke, or THESE PEOPLE REALLY ARE MORONS! Can someone explain to me how increasing daylight-savings time will give us a couple more hours of sunlight. Here is the article, maybe someone can explain this to me.
