Here are the top stories today in Bedford:

1. The owner of the Cog Railway in New Hampshire is proposing accommodations and a restaurant near the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire's highest peak. The Cog Railway is a coal-fired steam engine that pushes a passenger car up the Cog Railway on a 3.8-mile journey to the top of Mount Washington. The owner of the railway is proposing accommodations and a restaurant near the summit of New Hampshire's highest peak. The $14 million project proposed by Cog Railway owner Wayne Presby comes after a 35-room hotel with a restaurant he proposed was denied several years ago after strong opposition from environmentalists. The new project calls for 18 rail cars that can accommodate up to 70 guests from mid-May through mid-October. You can read the full story here: (WMUR)
2. What's the controversy over Daylight Savings Time? You may have lost an hour of sleep this weekend due to Daylight Saving Time, but you also gained an extra hour of daylight. Opinions about Daylight Savings Time have been divided throughout American history. Surveys show that many Americans don't want to change their clocks in the spring and fall, but it seems that no one agrees on a solution. It eventually comes down to who would like to see the sunrise an hour earlier or set an hour later. You can read the full story here: (WMUR)
3. Soaring gas prices have New Hampshire drivers fired up about electric vehicles. Peter McNamara, president and executive director of the New Hampshire Auto Dealers Association, said he wore a green button in Las Vegas last week said it all: “Dealers are all in on EVs.” McNamara was attending the National Automobile Dealers Association’s annual show in Las Vegas last week, where electric vehicles where a prominent topic. Every large auto manufacturer "has plans to go all-electric by 2035, and some plan to do it much sooner," said McNamara. You can read the full story here (with a subscription): (The Union Leader)
