Solar Power On the White House

Posted by samzenpus on from the red-white-and-green dept.

CartaNova writes "The Obama administration has announced plans to install solar panels and a solar hot water heater on the White House. The Carter administration had previously installed a 32-panel solar system at the White House — which was quietly removed during Reagan's tenure in office. Solar hot water and Photovoltaic firms had been campaigning on this issue for some time."

    Why do Europeans have problems not generalizing about Americans?

    I just signed a contract to get solar power installed, and the sales guy said business was booming. His phone didn't stop buzzing the entire time.

    Also, our President is getting solar power, if you hadn't heard.

    I hope the power companies don't retaliate
