Carter Was Right, Part 1

In 1979, he installed solar panels atop the White House. Reagan removed them.

As installation was completed, President Jimmy Carter predicted this:

“(A) generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people; harnessing the power of the Sun to enrich our lives as we move away from our crippling dependence on foreign oil.”
