Barack Obama: 'no' to solar panels on the White House roof

[bijou]

A quest to get Barack Obama to shout his commitment to solar power from the roof tops - by re-installing vintage solar panels at the White House - ended in disappointment for environmental campaigners today.

Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org, had led a group of environmental activists to Washington in a bio-diesel van hoping to persuade Obama to re-install a set of solar panels originally put up by Jimmy Carter.

The actual Carter-era solar panels - which weigh in at 55 kilograms and are nearly 2 metres long - are out-dated now.

them on one of his H for H homes. Especially one with Chicom drywall. :D

A wind turbine would be a better idea as it would always have a constant supply of hot air.
