This article was published september 9th 2010, the article states that September 10th a meeting would be held to discuss the planning of installing solar panels.
Carter was one president to speak out about energy consumption he stated once that the we can not continue taking in 40 percent more energy than what we actully take in. This article tells of an activist speaking out to the president to get the white house involved in using soalr energy. Bill McKibben the founder of 350.org wants to put solar panels back up in white house. I think this would be great because it would set the example for all of Americans. The article reveals the reasoning behind it is symbolic and is meant to influence the U.S, as well as continue what was thought of in 1979. One problem is that the west wing is worried about losing the white house and there for losing the plans to complete the solar panels, thus the planning and time put into everything would be useless. However many feel, this is just throwing a bone to the environmental community.
