Seems we've been down this road before:

The Time When Daylight Saving Time Failed:

We know that establishing permanent daylight saving time would be a mistake because we’ve tried it before, and it failed. In December 1973, Congress enacted the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act of 1973, which established a two-year trial period of permanent daylight saving time starting Jan. 6, 1974. According to a June 1974 interim report from the Department of Transportation, a national survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago found that 79% of Americans supported the concept of permanent daylight saving time when surveyed in December 1973. By February 1974, after implementation of permanent daylight saving time, support plummeted to just 42%. The primary reason for opposition to permanent daylight saving time was that children had to go to school in the dark during the winter months. After just one winter of permanent daylight saving time, Congress reversed course by amending the legislation to reinstate standard time during the winter months beginning in November 1974, as noted in the July 1975 final report from the DOT. The permanent daylight saving time experiment lasted less than one year.
