Obama says "no" to solar panels on the White House

I was sorry to hear that Barack Obama rejected the proposal to return one of the Jimmy Carter era solar panels to the White House roof.  The panels were installed in 1979 by President Carter and taken down by President Reagan.  The one offered for return was one of 32 panels 6' long.  The company Sungevity offered to install panels using up to date technology, but the White House also declined this offer. 

Unless I get political, I will have to refrain from any other comment.  It would only amount to observation and conjecture.  I will encourage any who read this to draw your own conclusions and put pressure on those who can make a change.

I just heard a couple of days ago that the White House has reversed it's position on going solar.  There are now plans to install new panels on the White House roof. YAY!!!
