     June 20, 1979 - President Carter dedicated the solar-thermal panels on the roof of the White House.

     “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.”

     Carter presented an ambitious plan to put America on a path to 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2000!

     Then came Reagan 🙁
