Has the US tried permanent daylight saving time before?
Original: Fact-check: Has the US tried permanent daylight saving time? Here's what happened.
A fact-check examines whether the United States has previously adopted permanent daylight saving time. The claim is circulating amid renewed debate over clock changes. The check confirms the US did try year-round daylight saving time in the 1970s, a move later reversed after public complaints about dark winter mornings.
Why now: Renewed debate over ending clock changes has people revisiting the country's 1970s experiment with permanent daylight saving time.
