Solar Power on the White House roof? Yes We Can!

White House with Solar PanelsFor all the talk of going green by this administration, it seems that it would be somewhat appropriate to (re)install solar systems on America's house ----  the White House. 

After a lot of talk by other people of having the solar equipment put back up, a gentleman by the name of Tor Valenza made a further suggestion that the Solar Industry could get it done.  After reading the blog post, I contacted Tor and suggested that we get a lot more people aware and involved in the project.  I volunteered to handle the promotion for the project. 

It only makes sense because of what I do for existing homes.  I have a marketing program to help homeowners who want to get a lot of marketing attention on their homes to sell their homes faster: Solar Certified Homes.

So now, we (Americans) can step up to the plate and show Washington how its done.  Laying aside all political debate and positions, we're calling on everyone who is interested in alternative energy to join with us to get the professional talent, equipment and most importantly the grass-roots involvement to make this happen.  We don't have to wait for the political debates to take place.  We don't have to wait for another bail-out.  We don't have to agree on climate-change.  We have the power to do this as individuals united with other like-minded people for a common purpose.

If you have an interest in making this happen, then check out the FaceBook page at:

and sign up on the wall.  Be sure to send an email to me telling me what your level of interest is. 


And please, share the page with your FaceBook friends.

Mike: What a unique idea!  Symbolically, the White House would certainly make a great statement for solar power- good luck with the campaign!

David & Allen,

 

Glad you like the idea.  I hope you visit the FaceBook page and become a fan along with how you'd like to help, or send me an email via AR.

 

Fernando:  I've seen the story.  It is a fuel cell.  They say it will have to run on some "fuel" but don't specify what happens to the post-generation exhaust.   They mention natural gas or waste gas.  Then this little teaser "or solar".  ????

I'll be contacting Bloom Energy to see how that fits in and if they want to work with our initiative.
