We were supposed to be in permanent DST right now.
It unanimously passed the Senate, something that never happens.
Somehow Congress still messed it up.
And thus we are once again condemned to darkness.

Because it's been done before and it's a disaster unless you only care about saving fuel.

The factual picture was a bit more complicated. The National Safety Council reported in February that pre-sunrise fatalities had risen to 20 from 18 the year before. In July, Roger Sant, then an assistant administrator-designate for the Federal Energy Administration, wrote a letter to the Post that noted a 1 percent energy saving achieved by going to DST equated to 20,000-30,000 tons of coal not being burned each day. Further, he wrote, accidents had fallen in the afternoons.
Hmm...
So because the public freaked out about adapting to the change on purely emotional terms despite the data proving there was little change for traffic safety and possibly an increase in safety between morning and afternoon combined, we should just throw the idea out forever?

Changing the clocks twice a year causes plenty of traffic accidents and other deaths on its own. You don't get to just look at a slight uptick in morning accidents in a vacuum.
