In December 1973, 79% of Americans wanted permanent DST. So, in the hopes that it would alleviate some of the problems caused by the OPEC Oil Embargo, the US made DST permanent.
By February 1974, only 43% of Americans still thought it was a good idea. Something about how the sunrise wasn’t until around 9 am, and people were commuting to work in the dark during the winter. It was repealed in October of 1974.
Most Health Organizations say we would be a lot healthier if we went to Standard time and stayed there. Most polls show people want more light after work, but as shown in the 70s, they change their tune pretty quickly when they realize they are driving to work and their kids are walking to school in the dark.
The biggest lobby for permanent DST is the Retail Lobby. That includes hotels, golf resorts, sporting goods, big charcoal, and so on and so forth. They hide behind energy conservation, but really they just want more daylight to sell you golf.
